The key challenges are deploying large-scale energy storage, and transmission of stored energy to areas of demand.
- oliwarner 1y agoDinorwig is an amazing place to visit. Not sure if they're open right now but go if you can. Yeah, I like pumped hydro and even with its lower efficiency, it's cost effective... but I live in the Fens and I'm looking at solutions that work everywhere. Local storage is going to be more important once a significant portion of the country has an EV and heat pump.
