| Grid-Scale Energy Storage, 25-26 June 2012, London, UK |
In an announcement with the UK's Energy Technologies Institute (ETI), Isentropic announced £14m of ETI funding to develop a 1.5MW/6MWh energy storage device. The device will operate at a UK primary substation and, once tested, may be rolled out across the country. With approximately 5,000 substations across the kingdom, this is expected to bring cost benefits for electricity customers.
“We believe this investment and project will allow us to demonstrate further our leading position in the fast growing energy storage market,” says James Mcnaughten, Chief Executive Officer of Isentropic.
“Finding innovative ways to store energy [is] an increasingly important factor in the transition to a green economy," added Vince Cable, UK Business Secretary. “The UK needs to seize the opportunities presented by the transition to a green economy and finding low cost solutions to electricity storage offers significant growth opportunities while also helping us meet the challenges of climate change."
Further details of Isentropic’s presentation at 4pm on June 26th can be found at: www.gridscale-energystorage.com and clicking on the ‘Programme’ and ‘Day 2’ tabs.
