National Grid & The Hornsea Battery
This is not just dishonest, it is dangerously so!

š A first of its kind battery storage solution is being connected to Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm.
š By co-locating assets like this, excess wind power can be stored and used when needed. @OrstedUK @Orsted @neso_energy @energygovuk pic.twitter.com/02wBe3NNIz

The storage will be 600 MWh, and is not designed to ābe used when neededā. Hornsea 3 will have a capacity of 2.9 GW, so 600 MWh would only be enough to last 12 minutes when the wind stops blowing.
Its real role is to balance grid frequency, as wind output can fluctuate even on a minute to minute basis.
This storage would not be needed if we were not so reliant on wind power, and its costs wonāt 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.
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.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations ā¦ (TLB)
