In 2023, battery energy storage systems in Great Britain saved 950,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. This year they are on track to increase this by 50%. This means batteries will have saved the equivalent emissions of a car driving from New York to Los Angeles 1.32 million times.
Another way that batteries reduce emissions is through energy actions. They do this on a daily basis, and we can see an example of this on April 15th, 2024, when batteries saved over 1,000 tonnes of CO 2. They did this by importing wholesale energy when the marginal carbon intensity (shown in red on the chart) was low.
Carbon savings from batteries as a percentage of power sector emissions also doubled between 2022 and 2023. This comes as battery energy storage capacity has continued to grow, while total power sector emissions have fallen.
Richborough Energy Park 2, optimized by Shell and owned by Sosteneo, has saved 13,000 tonnes of carbon in 2024 so far, more than any other battery. 94% of this came from reduced Mandatory Frequency Response emissions. In 2023, battery energy storage systems in Great Britain saved 950,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
Shaniyaa looks into the buildout of battery energy storage in Q1 2024. 184 MW of new capacity becoming operational in Q1 2024, the lowest since Q3 2022. The new capacity came from six new battery energy storage units. These range from 19 MW to 50 MW in rated power and one to two hours in duration.
Against the backdrop of swift and significant cost reductions, the use of battery energy storage in power systems is increasing. Not that energy storage is a new phenomenon: pumped hydro-storage has seen widespread deployment for decades. There is, however, no doubt we are entering a new phase full of potential and opportunities.
