UK Energy Storage Cabinet 2MW Project Proposal

4 FAQs about UK Energy Storage Cabinet 2MW Project Proposal

Could a new energy storage scheme help the UK achieve energy independence?

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.

Which energy storage projects have been shortlisted for the LDEs cap & floor scheme?

Ofgem has shortlisted energy storage projects for the new LDES cap and floor scheme, featuring Li-ion BESS, flow batteries, pumped hydro and more. Ofgem has announced that 77 of the 171 submitted energy storage projects will proceed to the next stage of the LDES cap and floor scheme. Credit: T. Schneider via Shutterstock.

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.

Could long duration electricity storage be the UK's first energy storage facility?

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.
