Ardagh glass pioneer sustainability and flexibility initiatives with GridBeyond’s hybrid battery and DSR technology
“The grid-optimising platform, delivered by GridBeyond, enables Ardagh Group to participate in the National Grid’s Firm Frequency Response service. In practice, the battery reduces the plant’s reliance on the grid and when there is no requirement for the excess energy that has been stored by the Tesla battery, it can be delivered back to the National Grid, thereby reducing the CO₂ impact of energy demand.”
Bishwa Giri, Energy Manager for Glass Europe at Ardagh Group
