Overview
The Eathorpe Battery is a 100MW battery, capable of storing energy and reinjecting it into the grid.
The battery will provide a variety of services including frequency control and load shifting, which are both necessary for the development of more renewable energy.
The power of the battery is likely to be contracted for an optimal use of the technology.
