They’re sold out for the next 2 years. https://youtu.be/lvSmMUdC_nA https://youtu.be/lvSmMUdC_nA Battery storage kills fossil generation, as it can’t compete when the batteries take ancillary service revenue (frequency response and voltage pinning) from gas turbines and firm renewables that are dispatchable make fossil generation overall uneconomical. It also reduces the need to curtail clean energy due to overproduction or transmission congestion. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/04/12/battery-storage-systems-30-cheaper-than-rival-gas-peaker-plants-for-firming-renewables/ https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/04/12/battery-storage-syste... https://www.harmonyenergy.co.uk/general/harmony-energy-income-trust-brings-europes-largest-battery-energy-storage-system-online/ https://www.harmonyenergy.co.uk/general/harmony-energy-incom...
