As countries move towards more intermittent sources power like wind and solar there is a greater need for energy storage, especially without grid-scale hydropower dams, nuclear, coal or natural gas.

During the night, in cloudy times, or when the winds aren’t blowing, electricity stored in energy storage will required to run communities, hospitals and businesses.
