Energy Storage

The Energy storage category on the ETL includes battery and thermal energy storage for commercial and industrial applications.

Battery Energy Storage

Battery energy storage (BES) is an electrochemical device that stores energy and provides electricity by discharging that energy at later times. In the wider electricity system, a BES system can defer the consumption of electricity generation to a later time, allowing for more cost-effective and sustainable generation sources to be maximised. The scope for BES systems on the ETL covers industrial and commercial applications.

Thermal Energy Storage

Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and/or power generation. The scope for TES systems on the ETL covers industrial and commercial applications, available in a range of different designs and efficiencies.
