In its response to EAC''s report, published today, the Government has set out the steps it is taking to remove market barriers so as to support the rollout of energy storage
The European Commission in 2020 published a study on energy storage, which summarized some previous studies and reports, explored current and potential energy storage markets in Europe, and set out policy and regulatory recommendations for energy storage.
The Energy Storage Association (UK) (ESA) is a dynamic new member-supported trade body. We represent the critical role of energy storage to support the cost-effective transition to a resilient and secure clean energy system. The ESA will represent the entire energy storage value chain.
“They explain that significant market barriers to long-term energy storage are to be identified, long-term energy storage will be rolled out and skills shortages in the sector are to be addressed: it is clear that the EAC’s advice has been taken seriously by the new government.
In May, the predecessor Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) warned that the lack of long-term energy storage in the UK was driving the importation of gas so as to balance the nation’s energy needs. Market, policy and regulatory barriers were all holding back the development of long-term energy storage.
EU energy storage initiatives are a key part of advancing energy security and the transition toward a carbon-neutral economy, improving energy efficiency, and integrating renewable energy sources into electricity systems, and can play an integral role in balancing power grids and saving surplus energy.
Defra plans to open a consultation on integrating grid-scale battery energy storage systems into the Environmental Permitting Regulations by June this year. Another consultation on the finer details of the plan is expected subsequently. The Department is also putting together a technical working group, consisting of about six or eight people.
