Batteries create cascading tipping points across power and transport sectors: stationary grid storage batteries increase renewable energy demand, which reduces renewable costs, making electric vehicles cheaper to run, which increases EV demand, which further drives renewable investment, and cheaper renewables also make air source heat pumps more price-competitive, which increases their volume and reinforces demand for more renewables.

Evidence Quote
“Take batteries for example. They're being increasingly utilized in the power sector for stationary grid balancing energy storage, and in the transport sector for electric vehicles. That's leading to greater demand for clean energy to power our cars and trucks, which in turn is driving the cost of renewables down still further and reducing EV running costs.”
