Renewable energies are key to the energy transition. The problem is that, for the most part, their output is intermittent: they only operate at full capacity when the sun is out, the wind is blowing or there is a strong river current. However, when one or more of these elements are missing, the electricity supply to the network is reduced, forcing recourse to fossil fuels. What if we relied on batteries to help us increase the share of electricity generated from renewable energies in the electricity mix of our territories?
