The energy transition offers new opportunities but also presents new challenges
The development of renewable energies (wind & solar)
is now being driven by their competitiveness
New challenges
Network saturation
An increasingly saturated power grid and ever higher connection costs.
Intermittence
Renewable production that does not meet consumer needs
Costing
Risks in developing and costing (or pricing) renewable production due to the effect of cannibalization
A solution :
Storage
Storage and its essential role for the future
Respond rapidly
Capacity to respond rapidly to network and energy market needs
Reserve
Capacity to store and draw on the stock of energy at the most suitable time
Shifting volume
Capacity to “shift” energy from periods of low demand to periods of high demand
