Gresham House Energy Storage Reaches 1 Gigawatt Of Capacity

The title of this post, announcing a major milestone for Gresham House Energy Storage Fund appears on several web pages.

Many grid batteries are designed to give full power for two hours, so applying that rule to the Gresham House Energy Storage fleet, will mean that the total fleet would be a 1 GW/2 GWh battery.

Consider.

• In Centrica Business Solutions And Highview Power, I showed how Highview Power’s batteries could be used, instead of lithium-ion batteries.
• Highview Power’s largest battery is 200 MW/2.5 GWh, which compares well with the largest lithium-ion batteries, in the UK fleet.
• The Ffestiniog Power Station is a 360 MW/1.44 GWh pumped-storage hydroelectric power station in Wales. It is slightly smaller than Highview Power’s largest battery.
• Moss Landing Power Plant in California is proposing to have a 1,500 MW / 6,000 MWh lithium-ion battery.
• Other GWh-scale systems are under trial.

It would appear that battery systems are widening the sizes of where they can be employed.

This hopefully, will mean more competition and keener prices for battery systems.
