Giant 'Water Battery' Provides Power and Capacity

Ally Winning, European Editor, PSD

I’m very proud of the enthusiasm that my home country, Scotland, has shown in embracing the green transition. It already has a strong capability for conventional renewable generation, such as through wind turbines and hydroelectric power. In the coming years, it will also have the potential to lead the entire wo
