This storage would not be needed if we were not so reliant on wind power, and its costs won\u2019t be borne by Oersted, who will either be paid handsomely by the National Grid for balancing services, or alternatively profit from the high-power prices on offer at times of short supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Grid, however, are being deceitful by trying to persuade the public that storage schemes like this one will solve the problem of wind intermittency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
