The UK government is launching a new funding program to unlock investment in long duration storage, a key part of its drive to optimize the expansion of renewable energy. Under the so-called cap and floor regime — already used for electricity interconnectors — energy storage developers will be guaranteed minimum revenues.
The energy storage projects receiving funding today include: Sunamp’s EXTEND project, East Lothian, Scotland – will receive £149,893 for a feasibility study to further develop the storage duration of their thermal batteries.
The available government subsidies for battery storage in the UK do not currently form a sufficiently significant and stable revenue stream to ensure battery storage project financings are fundable on the basis of capacity market or ancillary services alone.
The UK Government has recognised the crucial importance of renewables in generating electricity in its Energy Security Plan, and has announced a raft of measures aimed at improving networks and grid connections, which will hopefully remove some of the hurdles to developing and financing battery storage projects.
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.
