In our latest episode, we chat about battery storage — or energy storage as it is otherwise known — to understand the essential, if relatively underappreciated role that the technology is playing in efforts to decarbonise energy systems globally.

With interviewee John Flaherty (Managing Director at SMS plc), we find out the difference between behind-the-meter and grid-scale energy storage technologies, how they are vital to supporting the increased use of renewable power, and why these assets — as well as being environmentally-friendly — also make for an appetising investment proposition.

Presented, produced and edited by Aled Bryon.
