Energy storage gets a boost as UK Government relaxes planning rules

The UK Government has announced a relaxation to the planning rules associated with installing energy storage systems, which could pave the way for more large scale projects coming online. Secondary legislation was introduced by ministers in the hope that the UK would see a three-fold increase in the number of energy storage systems coming online.

More regulation coming to battery energy storage

DEFRA is planning to bring battery energy storage systems (BESS) into the environmental permitting regime.

UK unveils long-duration energy storage (LDES) support scheme

The design and implementation is being carried out in conjunction with a separate wider reform of the UK''s energy markets, the Review of Electricity Porter was formerly head of business development at vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) company Invinity Energy Systems. Energy-Storage.news'' publisher Solar Media will host the 9th

Will a large-scale energy storage system be needed?

No matter how much generating capacity is installed, there will be times when wind and solar cannot meet all demand, and large-scale storage will be needed. Historical weather records indicate that it will be necessary to store large amounts of energy (some 1000 times that provided by pumped hydro) for many years.

The UK''s energy storage is then analyzed in detail from the aspects of financial support and system reform, policy incentives, and rule revisions in terms of technological innovation, planning approval system, energy storage asset attribute definition, shared site rules, auxiliary service market, capacity market, and balance mechanism.

VAT on Solar and Battery Storage

In Northern Ireland, the previous rules remain in force. This means that solar is subject to 20% VAT unless a reduced rate of 5% applies. What does this mean for residential energy storage? Solar Energy UK supports measures to help ensure the affordability of solar technologies, and continues to call for batteries to be included on the list

Energy: What does the UK''s new strategy say?

There''s an ambition to increase the UK''s current 14GW solar capacity fivefold by 2035. Planning laws in England will be reviewed to promote the development of new solar farms on non-protected land.

Approved 50MW UK battery site will show

In November 2020 Anesco sold 81MW of operational battery storage projects for £28.2 million (US$36.46 million at the time) to stock exchange listed energy storage investor Gore Street Energy Storage Fund and in June this year Anesco itself was acquired by private equity firm Ara Partners and technical and commercial services company Aksiom

Urgent call for action for long-duration energy storage in the UK

The UK Parliament''s Science and Technology Committee''s new report on long-duration energy storage says the government must act fast to ensure that energy storage technologies can scale up in time to decarbonise the electricity system and ensure energy security by 2035. Meanwhile, a number of new initiatives have been announced, aimed at
