FAQs 6

Why do we need balancing energy storage technologies in Australia?

Increasing gap between maximum and minimum operational demand in Australia call for urgent need of balancing storage technologies. Fast response hybrid battery-supercapacitor energy storage are deemed prudent solution for the transition period, while PHES and Hydrogen are for long-term storage

How can renewable storage technology transform Australia?

Renewable storage technologies have the potential to revolutionise clean and reliable energy access in remote communities, support cost-effective decarbonisation in industry and transform Australia into a green hydrogen export superpower.

Why is energy storage important in Australia?

Increasing variable renewable generation and retirement of coal-fired generation are the key drivers behind storage growth in Australia. Energy storage is essential to cover periods of low sunlight and wind (Dunkelflaute/renewable droughts) and to provide grid stabilising services like inertia, voltage and frequency control.

Are pumped hydro energy storage projects coming to Kidston?
