Savills Guernsey | Could battery energy storage systems (BESS)
New battery energy storage systems (BESS) could be the solution to constraints in power grids across Europe while also offering an opportunity for investors. With 40% of Europe''s power distribution grids over 40 years old, capacity is increasingly constrained.
Energy centre for Sark grid could be built by 2026
The company has said it would now work out "the best mix and capacity of wind, solar, battery storage as well as back-up diesel generators" before coming back with plans before the end of June
Frequently Asked Questions
months if you don''t have enough battery storage. Battery storage technology is in early stages of development at grid scale but is becoming increasingly common at domestic level. If you use the grid, at any time of the year and however frequently or infrequently, you will be liable for all year-round maintenance costs.
Network, Demand & Supply | Guernsey Electricity
Wind energy is commercially viable, and research has shown a promising local resource for an offshore development. Consideration would be needed around impacts to the environment, fisheries and shipping for example. The fluctuation in wind would require battery storage or a second subsea cable to export energy.
What does an ideal Battery Energy Storage Site (BESS)
A key technology in managing this gap between generation and demand are Battery Energy Storage Sites (BESS). These can charge from the grid when there''s an abundance of renewable electricity during peak

Climate tech explained: grid-scale battery storage
Grid-scale battery storage is a mature and fast-growing industry with demand reaching 123 gigawatt-hours last year. There are a total of 5,000 installations across the world. In the first quarter of 2024, more than 200 grid-scale
Savills Guernsey | What does an ideal Battery Energy Storage
A key technology in managing this gap between generation and demand are Battery Energy Storage Sites (BESS). These can charge from the grid when there''s an abundance of renewable electricity during peak generation periods and then discharge back onto the grid when there''s a shortfall in supply.
