Energy: Battery Storage Facility
Switzerland's largest battery storage facility, consisting of three battery containers and six transformers, of the electric plant of the canton of Zurich (Elektrizitätswerke des Kantons Zürich, EKZ) is located in Volketswil. The battery store has an output of 18 megawatts and a storage capacity of 7.5 megawatt per hours. This is enough electricity to supply 600 average four-person households for one day. The large battery is not used directly for electricity supply, but is intended to provide control energy for the national grid company Swissgrid and thus contribute to stabilizing the electricity grid. After a successful test phase, the battery storage will be put into operation on May 15, 2018. (ekz)
