The significant structural shift from a fossil fuel-based system of energy production and consumption to renewable sources is necessary but not without challenge. One limit on the speed of transition is the often competing priority of energy security, an issue which has been brought to the fore by recent market volatility following the onset of conflict in Ukraine. It is in that context which energy storage plays a fundamental, critical, and pivotal role. At its simplest, energy storage is the mechanic which overcomes the challenge presented by intermittent renewable energy sources; when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining excess energy can be captured and stored, to then be delivered later when conditions are less conducive to energy generation. This allows for flexibility, energy efficiency, and increased capacity in the electricity grid to which the stored energy contributes
