That’s simply not true, or at least not today. First of, the UK are investing in battery storage, there’s already a rollout of grid-level battery systems across the country*. None of them hold capacity for longer than 2 hours before they need to start discharging. In fact, the record breaking duration is 6 hours. This is great as a short buffer, but it’s not “storage”. To put this in perspective, last year the UK went 2 weeks without any significant wind, so a 2 hour buffer is nothing. This is why Hydrogen is still being kept as an option for long term storage. https://stateraenergy.co.uk/projects/thurrock-storage https://stateraenergy.co.uk/projects/thurrock-storage https://rhomotion.com/news/longest-duration-battery-energy-storage-project-in-the-uk-gets-the-go-ahead/ https://rhomotion.com/news/longest-duration-battery-energy-s...
