Dive Deeper: Types of Energy Storage 2: Elevation (gravitational potential energy): Electricity can be used to pump water from a low elevation to a high elevation. Electricity can then be generated later by allowing the water to flow back down through a turbine. This is called pumped hydro energy storage, which is the oldest and most-used form

Energy storage can provide flexibility to the electricity grid, guaranteeing more efficient use of resources. When supply is greater than demand, excess electricity

firstly, a DNO is required to "manage and operate the distribution business in a way that is calculated to ensure that it does not restrict, prevent, or distort competition" in the electricity or gas market. The operation of energy storage assets by a DNO could impact on the competitiveness of the electricity market.
