A future in store for old coal plants: Aalborg CSP’s vision

A substantial increase in renewable energy production is to be expected in the coming years, and this will require storage of energy from wind turbines and solar parks if we are to maintain our current consumption patterns. At the same time, existing coal-fired power plants must be phased out. An ideal plan is therefore to re-use coal-fired power plants for storing renewable energy instead of demolishing them and building new energy storage facilities from scratch.
