Could you store energey in ice cubes?

Could you store energy in vertical glaciers? You partially freeze Water, and coat it with temperature isolation, and pile those cubes up, if you have a energy surplus. If you need energy,you unleash this vertical dammed storage lake and voila?

Where did i go wrong?

There's commercial solutions that use ice as energy storage as part of air-con systems.

Ice Bear and Ice Bank are two brand names.

How much energy does it take to partially freeze water and keep it cold while in storage?
