This country databook contains high-level insights into UK energy storage systems market from 2018 to 2030, including revenue numbers, major trends, and company profiles.
The remarkable progress witnessed during 2022 indicates a highly promising future for the UK energy storage market, with expectations of substantial additions to the connected energy storage capacity in the coming years.
All told, both solar and storage are set on steep upward trajectories: analysts expect the combined sector to draw tens of billions of pounds in new investment this decade, making it a cornerstone of the UK''s clean energy expansion.
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 published its long-awaited
With a strong focus on sustainability and decarbonization, the future of the energy storage market in the UK looks promising, offering significant opportunities for investors, stakeholders, and industry participants to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy landscape.
Energy storage is a high priority for the UK Government and a key component of the government''s push towards a net zero carbon economy. The government is investing more than $4 billion in low-carbon innovation, as the UK aims to end its contribution to climate change entirely by 2050.
Data published by RenewableUK just over two weeks ago showed that the amount of energy storage projects in the UK that are operational, under construction, consented or being planned has increased by more than
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 published its long-awaited consultation on the cap and floor revenue stabilisation mechanism for LDES.
The UK energy storage market size reached 10.6 GW in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 52.9 GW by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 19.57%
However, within the UK, numerous sites over 1GWh in size have already been approved and construction has begun on some of these sites that will ultimately become some of the largest BESS projects in Europe.

The UK energy storage systems market is poised for significant growth, driven by increasing energy demands, the adoption of renewable energy sources, and advancements in energy storage technologies.
RenewableUK’s ‘EnergyPulse’ energy storage report showed that the total pipeline of battery projects has increased from 50.3GW a year ago to 84.8GW, an increase of 68.6 per cent, or 34.5GW. Operational battery storage capacity has grown to 3.5GW, while the capacity of projects under construction has reached 3.8GW.
The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has said that technologies “such as electricity storage could save up to £10 billion per year by 2050 by reducing the amount of generation and network needed to decarbonise and create 24,000 jobs”. Which are the 5 biggest UK energy storage projects?
Energy storage is a high priority for the UK Government and a key component of the government’s push towards a net zero carbon economy. The government is investing more than $4 billion in low-carbon innovation, as the UK aims to end its contribution to climate change entirely by 2050.
Major developers of UK energy storage projects include EDF, Pivot Power, Statera, and RES, with each company active in several power supply and flexibility markets, providing services to National Grid, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), as well as operating in the wholesale energy markets.
Wood Mackenzie has predicted that the UK will add 25.68GWh of new grid-scale energy storage capacity during the period 2022-2031, more than twice the amount that will be added by Europe’s second fastest-growing market, Italy. More due diligence required in future
The UK’s solar energy and battery storage sector is undergoing a rapid transformation, bolstered by ambitious climate targets and supportive policies. Solar photovoltaics (PV) capacity has rebounded since the end of feed-in tariffs, while energy storage is scaling up to enhance grid reliability.
