## From the administrators' statement

Isentropic Ltd (‘the Company”) was incorporated in March 2004 and was developed with a view to eventually commercialising energy storage systems that would allow utilities to profitably manage the evolving power generation landscape

The Company was established to develop Pumped Heat Electricity Storage, a standalone energy storage system based on a novel, high efficiency reciprocating engine and large scale thermal stores

In 2015 it was recognised that the development of the reciprocating engine was too capital intensive for a small organisation Consequently a decision was made to focus on a technology based around the thermal storage, that would allow a gas plant to remain available at all times to the gnd, give a variable output, run with greater efficiency using stored energy and give immediate response to regulate frequency fluctuations
