Tomago-based clean energy company MGA Thermal and AGL are investigating how the company's flexible energy storage technology can be applied to the 200 megawatt Torrens Island B power station in South Australia.
The $1 million feasibility study is investigating options to use grid electricity to charge the thermal energy storage and discharge through one of the power station's existing 200 megawatt steam turbines, which ordinarily runs on gas, when electricity is required on the grid.
