Affordable Energy Storage refers to systems and technologies that allow for the efficient capture and storage of energy at a low cost, making energy accessible and manageable for consumers and businesses. This typically involves the use of batteries, pumped hydro storage, or other innovative methods that store excess energy generated from renewable sources like solar and wind. The goal of affordable energy storage is to enhance the reliability of energy supply, enable energy independence, and support the shift from fossil fuel-based energy systems to cleaner, sustainable alternatives. It plays a critical role in balancing supply and demand, allowing for energy use when it is most needed, and ultimately contributes to reducing overall energy costs and enhancing grid stability.
