Energy storage is rapidly become more and more relevant due to the increasing renewable energy fraction in the grid, the rise of photovoltaics and the increase in electric cars. This website aims to give an overview of the energy storage situation in Switzerland. It was created as part of an BFE project.
Customer ServiceSix energy firms dominated the market for decades until the major changes of the past couple of years. Four of the original six still supply more than half of energy customers today – British Gas, EDF Energy, E.ON Next and Scottish Power. Octopus Energy is now the second-largest supplier for gas and third-largest (after E.ON Next) for
Customer ServiceOnce converted into electricity, the stored hydrogen would supply around 2 GWh of power. "This plant could replace a small reservoir in the Alps as a seasonal energy storage facility. To put that in perspective, it equates to around one-tenth of the capacity of the Nant de Drance pumped storage power plant," Stark says. In addition, the

Customer ServiceOr you can charge them using your mains electricity supply. Energy storage can be useful if you generate renewable electricity and want to use more of it, or outside of daylight hours. It may also be worth considering if you have a time-of-use energy tariff that means you could charge a battery cheaply at off-peak times. Read on to find out about different energy-storage products, how
Customer ServiceThe household energy storage system is similar to a miniature energy storage power station, while its operation is free from the pressure of the utility. Battery pack in the system is self-charged during the trough period of using electricity, and discharges it during the peak period of using or powering off electricity. In addition to using it as an emergency power
