"Giant Battery"

Great to see another energy storage facility actually kick off. I've blogged a few times on the critical need for bulk storage as back-up for intermittent sources and now there is to be a new one actually linked into the network. The Edie report doesn't say anything about the storage technology being utilised but judging from the project application form it's relatively standard litium-ion batteries that will be used. So I guess that really the only innovation is the size. 'Tis one to watch.
