6 Frequently Asked Questions about “New Energy Storage Policy of the State Council”

Why is the government removing market barriers to energy storage?

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 projects at scale, in order to keep the lights on when renewable energy generation is low.

Will the government invest in long duration electricity storage by 2024?

The government will put in place an appropriate policy framework by 2024 to enable investment in large scale long duration electricity storage (LLES), with the goal of deploying sufficient storage capacity to balance the overall system.

What changes will the SMART plan make to electricity storage?

No changes, the market and environment stay exactly as it is. No specific changes for large-scale, long duration electricity storage. This means implementing the changes in the smart plan, such as innovation funding, and individual changes to remove market barriers for all types of storage.

Are there any changes to the electricity storage market?

The list of options detailed in Table 2 was developed through stakeholder engagement and engagement with teams across DESNZ and Ofgem. No changes, the market and environment stay exactly as it is. No specific changes for large-scale, long duration electricity storage.

Can long duration electricity storage save energy?

Long Duration Electricity Storage would reduce costs to consumers through lowering their energy bills, by avoided electricity grid reinforcement and avoided peak generational plant build. LCP's modelling estimates savings for the energy system (and ultimately the energy consumer) of up to £24 billion by 2050.

What is the long duration energy storage Investment Support Scheme?

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.
