6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Interpretation video of the UK s new energy storage policy”
Why does the UK need long-term energy storage?
In May, the predecessor Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) warned that the lack of long-term energy storage in the UK was driving the importation of gas so as to balance the nation's energy needs. Market, policy and regulatory barriers were all holding back the development of long-term energy storage.
When will the government implement a long-term energy storage policy?
Deployment will also depend on ongoing developments in energy markets and a better understanding and communication of the risks. The Government will implement a policy on longer duration energy storage by 2024. Acknowledgements POSTnotes are based on literature reviews and interviews with a range of stakeholders and are externally peer reviewed.
Should the UK start investing in long-duration energy storage?
Energy storage executives from global assurance and risk management provider DNV analyse the UK government's proposal to kickstart investment into long-duration energy storage (LDES). The case for LDES is arguably straightforward.
What are the barriers to the development of energy storage systems?
Barriers to the development of BESSs and other energy storage systems also include high upfront capital costs, uncertain revenue streams and delays to grid connections. In response to these concerns, the government published its action plan to accelerate grid connections in November 2023.
How much does the UK spend on renewables?
According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), for every £1 the UK has spent on renewables it has spent only 25p on cables and power lines. This imbalance highlights the urgent need for grid expansion and smarter policies to accelerate battery deployment, to ensure the grid can balance supply and demand and keep the lights on.
