Standalone battery storage is perfect for properties where installing solar panels isn’t an option or preference. It helps reduce electricity bills, provides backup during power cuts (with an EPS), and gives you more control over energy usage.
Good FAQ.
- What’s the impact of artificial intelligence on energy demand? sustainabilitybynumbers.com
Here I’ll look at recent estimates of how much electricity data centres use today, what some medium-term projections look like, and how to square this with recent announcements from tech companies.

- After many false starts, hydrogen power might now bear fruit | Hacker News news.ycombinator.com
Hydrogen has an efficiency problem. You need to convert other forms of energy to hydrogen at a loss. Then you need to store it and transport it, which is costly and may impose quite some energy cost for cooling or compression. Then you need to convert it back to electricity, also at a loss. If you start at electricity, the electrical grid and batteries would be much more efficient. If you start at oil or gas, you could use convention ICEs and get comparable overall efficiencies. For them transport and delivery is a solved problem.
