Large-scale solar and wind are vital to the future of our energy network. However if we want to transition to a fully renewable grid, we need to find a way to store the excess energy we get from wind and solar, so we can keep the lights on at night. That means we need batteries, and a lot of them. But how could some of our oldest energy sources be key to unlocking the grid of the future?

Transitioning our electricity grid towards renewables is one of the most important and complex challenges of our time. But what does it take to shift an entire grid to renewables? In Season 2 of So Watt? we explore how the transition to renewable energy will actually work, from the people on the ground making it all happen.

So Watt? is brought to you by Origin, with production from the team at Lawson Media. Find out more at originenergy.com.au/sowatt.
