Credit: David Pimborough / Shutterstock. The government of the UK has launched a new investment support scheme aimed at bolstering the country’s energy storage infrastructure. The initiative aims to encourage the development of long-duration energy storage (LDES) facilities, which have not seen significant investment in nearly four decades.
Long Duration Electricity Storage investment support scheme will boost investor confidence and unlock billions in funding for vital projects. The UK is a step closer to energy independence as the government launches a new scheme to help build energy storage infrastructure.
The UK is a step closer to energy independence as the government launches a new scheme to help build energy storage infrastructure. This could see the first significant long duration electricity storage (LDES) facilities in nearly 4 decades, helping to create back up renewable power and bolster the UK’s energy security.
If the UK establishes a strong domestic energy storage industry, it can export storage capacity and technologies. Storage would reduce the UK’s dependence on costly, polluting and uncertain fossil fuel imports. Great Britain currently has 2.8 gigawatts (GW) of LDES across four Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH) facilities in Scotland and Wales.
In conclusion, the UK’s solar and energy storage sector finds itself at an inflection point – bolstered by supportive policy, buoyant investment, and rapid tech improvements, yet challenged by infrastructure bottlenecks and the practicalities of an unprecedented build-out.
This could see the first significant long duration electricity storage (LDES) facilities in nearly 4 decades, helping to create back up renewable power and bolster the UK’s energy security. These technologies work like giant batteries by storing renewable energy and releasing it onto the grid and into homes when needed.
