Energy storage technologies represent an alternative to traditional grid management using generation assets such as natural gas peakers to balance the grid by adding power to it. The value of the ESG market is now measured by using the value of energy ($/kWh), not power ($/kW). Energy storage on the grid is reaching a turning point.
