Power technology group Wärtsilä has launched the world’s first large-scale 100% hydrogen-ready engine power plant, to facilitate the move away from gas and towards hydrogen.
Pivot Power’s Energy Superhub rollout – combining battery energy storage and electric vehicle (EV) charging – is moving ahead with plans in place for two sites in the West Midlands.
If the UK is to reach 100% renewables at the lowest cost, it will need 49.5GW of flexibility from both storage and gas, according to research from Wärtsilä.
New analysis from technology group Wärtsilä has found that flexibility technologies can rapidly increase the share of renewables at a lower overall cost.
