Operating a reliable low-carbon power system means that energy storage is imperative – and AEMO also makes this clear.It says building the energy storage to manage daily and seasonal variations in solar and wind generation is the most pressing need of the next decade.It has consistently called for urgent investment in long-duration storage to support a low-carbon National Electricity Market – and those calls become more urgent with each coal plant retirement.By AEMO’s current calculations, outlined in the ISP, 61 GW of storage capacity is needed by 2050 under the Step Change scenario.
