The deal marks the Bank’s second debt investment in the battery storage market following its £62.5 million commitment to Pulse Clean Energy in May, in addition to £200 million of investment into the Equitix UK Electricity Storage Fund and Gresham House Secure Income Renewable Energy & Storage LP (SIRES).
Image: Harmony Energy. Battery storage projects totalling 627MW were awarded contracts in the UK’s 2023-24 Capacity Market auction which concluded yesterday (14 February), nearly a two-thirds jump on last year’s.
Of the 6,124.249MW of capacity that entered the auction, 94.42% was awarded an agreement. Battery storage projects totalling 627MW were awarded contracts in the UK's 2023-24 Capacity Market auction yesterday (14 February).
The investment strongly aligns with the Bank’s net zero mandate, helping to provide the energy storage necessary to support the rapid scale up of renewables, as set out in the British Energy Security Strategy. National Grid forecast that up to 29 GW of storage could be needed by 2030 and up to 51 GW by 2050 – up from around 5 GW today.
The United Kingdom's capacity market auctions are emerging as a major catalyst for battery energy storage system (BESS) deployment.
John Flint, CEO of UK Infrastructure Bank, said: The rapid scale-up of renewables onto the grid means the UK needs more storage capacity, and we need it fast. That means scaling this technology which in turn presents challenges for the market. This is exactly why the Bank is here.
