Utility Plans Cave-Battery

German utility EWE unveiled plans to build a massive underground battery using redox flow technology. The technology will be perfected first in large plastic containers before moving to the underground salt-cavern. Once complete it will be the world’s largest battery. EWE uses salt-caverns currently for storage of natural gas.
