A Superior and Distinctive
Storage Solution
Benefits
Given its performance characteristics and benefits relative to other commercially available storage technologies, A-CAES is particularly well-suited to address the growing need for long-duration energy storage on the grid. Importantly, A-CAES has a unique advantage in its ability to simultaneously provide long storage durations while being flexibly sited where the grid requires it.
