Why Grid Storage Matters More Than Ever

Modern energy systems face unprecedented challenges. As demand grows and renewable energy adoption accelerates, the limitations of today’s grid become increasingly clear. Reliable, scalable storage is no longer optional — it is the backbone of future energy security.

Rising Energy Demands

Global electricity consumption continues to surge, driven by digitalization, industrial growth, and climate adaptation. According to the IEA, worldwide demand is projected to rise by more than 25% by 2030, placing immense pressure on outdated grid infrastructure.

At the heart of the partnership is Undercurrent’s Nano-Electro Fuel™ (NEF), a nanotechnology-based liquid battery that fundamentally reimagines how energy is stored and delivered.
Unlike conventional batteries, where power and energy are locked into a single unit, NEF separates the two:
Power modules that charge and discharge the fuel.
Energy modules — external tanks that hold the liquid nanofluid.
This architecture means utilities can scale energy and power independently. If more capacity is needed, they simply expand the tanks. If more power is needed, they add more stacks. This flexibility prevents the costly overbuilding common with lithium-ion solutions.
Even more importantly, NEF is non-flammable, iron-rich, and water-based. It eliminates the fire risks that have plagued grid-scale lithium installations, making it deployable in both dense urban centers and remote rural sites.
