The Committee’s report on long-duration energy storage concludes that the Government must act fast to ensure that energy storage technologies can scale up in time to play a vital role in decarbonising the electricity system and ensuring energy security by 2035. Long-duration energy storage can reduce curtailment of renewables and grid congestion.
A strategic reserve of electricity storage is a critical investment to secure the UK’s energy supply against future shocks, but the Government is still equivocating over whether it is necessary to invest in one. Since 2023, the Government has had a Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Why are we legislating? Electricity storage covers a range of technologies that store low carbon energy for when it is needed, for example in batteries on the wall of your home or business, or in facilities that pump water to higher reservoirs when electricity is abundant, and let it flow back down through a turbine when it is scarce.
Therefore, the government has said a decarbonised power system will need to be supported by technologies that can respond to fluctuations in supply and demand, including energy storage. The government expects demand for grid energy storage to rise to 10 gigawatt hours (GWh) by 2030 and 20 GWh by 2035.
Long-duration energy storage is critical for ensuring the UK can have both, so it must be a key priority for the Department. The Government says it wants to deploy enough storage both to balance and to decarbonise the electricity system by 2035, but we are not on track.
Electricity storage covers a range of technologies that can deploy at different scales and provide output for different durations. This includes lithium-ion battery storage and pumped hydro storage as well as emerging technologies including liquid air energy storage and flow batteries.
The government expects demand for grid energy storage to rise to 10 gigawatt hours (GWh) by 2030 and 20 GWh by 2035. What permissions do BESSs need? Installing a grid-scale BESS requires planning consent.
