From roots to treetops: the evolution of the wood industry
And energy storage can play a much bigger role even than that: it can provide fast-acting, quick-response injections of energy on the grid as a contingency, it can provide reserves, and it can even provide black-start capability. All of which is to say that energy storage is a very flexible, useful resource that can provide loads of benefits to the grid.
Together, we look at your energy production capacity, your existing systems, and potential cost reductions and returns. Whether you''re a renewable energy producer or are looking for an energy storage system to manage costs, by matching supply to demand, battery energy storage can reduce resources, lower costs and protect our planet.

The ZenergiZe range enables operators to reduce emissions and fuel consumption in every application. For instance, if, among the operating modes of energy storage systems, it works in hybrid mode, the ZenergiZe reduces the emissions of a standalone generator up to 50 percent.This translates to approximately 100 tons of CO2 (the equivalent of planting 450 trees).
The original settlers of New Zealand, the Maoris, who arrived around 800 years ago from the central Pacific, used the natural geothermal springs for bathing and the very hot springs and geysers for cooking. Now the country uses this natural energy to supply around three per cent of its power needs, and is seeking to further develop its potential.
