6 FAQs about [Uk investment in energy storage]
How much government funding has been given to energy storage projects?
This was published under the 2022 to 2024 Sunak Conservative government Over £32 million government funding has been awarded to UK projects developing cutting-edge innovative energy storage technologies that can help increase the resilience of the UK’s electricity grid while also maximising value for money.
Why is energy storage so important in the UK?
Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero Graham Stuart said: Storing energy for longer periods is vital to build a robust and secure energy system and ensure that renewable energy is used efficiently. Fortunately the UK has a wealth of pioneering businesses that are making their mark on this industry.
Can new energy storage technologies boost UK energy resilience?
However, new energy storage technologies can store excess energy to be used at a later point, so the energy can be used rather than wasted – meaning we can rely even more on renewable generation rather than fossil fuels, helping boost the UK’s long-term energy resilience.
Is energy storage a barrier to investment?
Until now energy storage has often been viewed as having high upfront costs despite low operational expenses, which has been a barrier to investment. The UK’s National Electricity System Operator estimates that a total of 11.5 GW to 15.3 GW of so-called ‘long duration’ energy storage will be required by 2050 to achieve net zero.
How can energy storage improve our energy resilience?
Accelerating renewables is key to boosting our energy resilience. Energy storage helps us get the full benefit of these renewables, improving efficiency and helping drive down costs in the long term.
Is long-term energy storage a good idea?
Julian Leslie, Director & Chief Engineer National Grid ESO said: “Integrating long duration energy storage into the grid is going to be vital to delivering the UK’s long term energy strategy.
