1. A method for cathodically protecting and/or passivating a metal section in an ionically conductive material, comprising:

  • providing an anode for communication of an electrical current to the metal section in the ionically conductive material;

    a storage component of electrical energy with two poles for communicating electrical current generated by release of the electrical energy;

    electrically connecting one pole to the metal section, electrically connecting the other pole to the anode and placing the anode in ionic contact with the ionically conductive material such that the electrical current can flow from the storage component through the electrical connection to the metal section thus reducing a total amount of electrical energy;

    wherein replacement electrical energy is introduced into the storage component while in situ.
