Making sure that the UK’s essential energy storage capacity is operating to its full potential reduces energy waste and ultimately ensures the fastest, most efficient transition to clean power.” To date, six out of eight facilities are operational.
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.
“This is a historic moment for the UK’s energy system. We’ve not built a new Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) facility in nearly 50 years, but with over 10GW and 200GWh of shovel-ready projects, the Hydropower sector stands ready to deliver.
