A sodium–sulfur (NaS) battery is a type of molten-salt battery that uses liquid sodium and liquid sulfur electrodes. This type of battery has a similar energy density to lithium-ion batteries, and is fabricated from inexpensive and low-toxicity materials. Due to the high operating temperature required (usually between 300 and 350 °C), as well as the highly reactive nature of sodium and
The facility will be used to store renewable energy from the solar photovoltaic plant and to power two electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen. The maximum nominal
