    We draw a very consistent 950MW, 24hrs a day.

    The battery you linked, if it goes ahead, will max out delivery at 400MW, which it can sustain for 3 hours before its 1200MWh storage is exhausted.

    Batteries can deliver power instantly, but not beyond their max output.

    There’s heaps of interest and proposals, and I hope they go ahead. But there’s a lot of work to do.

      Right, but you realize that’s far from typical for a workplace?

        Yes, but, funnily enough, we produce a lot of stuff for the renewable energy industry.
