What is the long duration energy storage Investment Support Scheme?

Long Duration Electricity Storage investment support scheme will boost investor confidence and unlock billions in funding for vital projects. The UK is a step closer to energy independence as the government launches a new scheme to help build energy storage infrastructure.

Can long duration electricity storage help decarbonise our energy system?

We're consulting on the policy framework to enable investment in long duration electricity storage. Long duration electricity storage can provide an important contribution to decarbonising our energy system. For example, it can store renewable power and discharge it during periods of low wind.

What is SSE Renewables doing in the UK?

SSE Renewables is progressing a development pipeline of pumped storage hydro projects in the UK. In addition to Coire Glas, SSE has plans to convert the largest conventional hydro power station in its existing hydro power fleet, the 152.5MW Sloy Power Station in southern Scotland, into a pumped storage hydro scheme.

Could SSE's Coire Glas be the future of energy storage?

“SSE’s Coire Glas has the potential to be at the forefront of delivering much needed large-scale long duration electricity storage – providing vital back up to an increasingly renewables-led system and bolstering energy security.

Will Coire Glas double Britain's electricity storage capacity?

Coire Glas received planning consent from the Scottish Government in 2020 and, with an electricity storage capacity of 30GWh, would double Britain’s total current electricity storage capacity – providing vital back up to an increasingly renewables-led system and bolstering energy security.
