Frequently Asked Questions

Renewable energy from wind and solar is not always produced when it is needed. This creates congestion on the electricity grid and wasted potential. By storing energy when supply is high and releasing it when demand is high, battery storage keeps the grid stable and ensures renewable power is always available.

S4 Energy has engaged proactively with the local community and authorities. In summer 2023, kitchen-table conversations were held with nearby residents, complemented by two public information evenings and communication through the local newspaper. Together with the municipality and the province, S4 Energy developed a spatial and ecological integration plan that fits the cultural and environmental character of the area. This inclusive approach helps ensure local acceptance while delivering societal value through enhanced grid reliability and support for the energy transition.
