Grensle’s business idea is to build district heating-connected energy storage facilities made of stone materials. The storage facilities are charged with surplus electricity from wind, solar and hydropower – and save energy from summer to winter. This solution enables power plant owners to maximize renewable production year-round, generate revenue from otherwise wasted energy, and secure investments at just a fraction of the cost of electric batteries.
