"We are getting in a critical period for the future of the UK's power supply. Coal-fired power gets on track to be eliminated by 2025 and also with stringent targets to decarbonise our system with the proceeded rollout of low-carbon generation, utility-scale power storage space systems like these are crucial to keeping safety, adaptability and also security," Grogan included.
