What is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)?
A Battery Storage System (BESS) is an energy management solution that has a crucial role in decarbonising our National Grid and is identified through Government policy as Critical National Infrastructure.
How Does It Work?
Stores Energy
During times when there is extra electricity (e.g., from solar or wind power), the system charges up.
Releases Energy
When demand is high or there’s a power outage, the system discharges stored electricity.
Balances the Grid
Helps stabilise energy supply, making power more reliable and efficient.
