Description
Long considered merely a supplementary technology, battery storage is now poised to become a cornerstone of the electric power system. Generating carbon-free electricity is no longer enough: we must also be able to store it and release it at the right time. Yet the deployment of batteries is not yet keeping pace with demand.
Is France heading in the right direction? Does our deployment pace meet the targets set by the PPE?
What business model will help accelerate investment? Are market signals enough, or is stronger public support needed?
Batteries, hydrogen, pumped-storage hydroelectricity, thermal storage: what combination of technologies will meet the needs of tomorrow’s electricity system?
