Energy storage is essential for balancing the variability of renewable energy sources in the UK. By storing excess energy during periods of high production and deploying it during high demand or low
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.
Getting to grips with the specifics of a battery energy storage system in the UK is the first step to understanding its true value. Here we''ll tackle some of the most common questions and give
It provides electricity system services to the grid, such as the ability to restart after power failures or stability services to keep the lights on in real time If the UK establishes a strong domestic

From the caverns of Teesside and the reservoirs of Scotland to futuristic cryogenic tanks near Manchester, the UK is assembling a flexible, secure and low-carbon energy storage landscape.
The joint government and Ofgem Technical Decision Document confirms details of the Long Duration Electricity Storage (LDES) cap and floor scheme and how it will operate.
There has been a shift in the pipeline for current and future long duration electricity storage (LDES), from over 7.2GW in December 2023 to 10.5GW in May 2024. In January, the Government
There will be a potential surge in battery energy storage system (BESS) projects receiving grid connection offers before 2030 following regulatory reforms approved by energy
Discover how long-duration energy storage can help the UK reduce gas reliance, cut curtailment costs, and achieve secure, low-carbon grid.
