6 FAQs about [Uk energy storage needs]

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.

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.

What role does energy storage play in the energy landscape?

Kelly Loukatou, one of the ESO’s energy insight leads, considers the role energy storage plays in the current energy landscape and how this is likely to develop. Energy systems need to continuously match supply and demand to ensure that electricity is delivered securely to UK houses and businesses.

Where should storage be deployed in the UK?

Storage will need to be deployed throughout the UK, with certain technologies needing to be located in particular geographic areas that have suitable conditions, such as salt caverns and mountains. Many of these technologies are not well known to the public, with positive and negative perceptions of their safety starting to emerge.

Why is long duration energy storage important?

Stephen Crosher, Chief Executive of RheEnergise Ltd said: Over the next decade, Long Duration Energy Storage can make an important contribution to the UK energy market, and indeed globally. Long Duration Energy Storage is a key to delivering the energy transition and will help strengthen the resilience and security of the UK’s energy system.

What are the different types of energy storage?

There will also be a role for other, more efficient, types of storage. Nuclear power, and burning biomass (and perhaps some natural gas) and capturing the carbon-dioxide, may also play a role; however, these forms of generation are not well to suited to providing all of the flexibility that will be needed to complement wind and solar power.
