Energy storage developer Eku Energy is building two UK battery storage projects – with a combined capacity of 130MWh – in Basildon, Essex and Loudwater, Buckinghamshire. Both projects are expected to be commercially operational by the end of 2024. Key figure: Sandra Grauers Nilsson, CEO.
December 5, 2023. The UK should not lose out on an opportunity to become a leader in utility-scale BESS (pictured), argues Nick Bradford of Atlantic Green. The UK Battery Strategy is intended as a roadmap to establishing a competitive value chain. As such, it has been welcomed, but falls short in recognising the potential for the battery energy ...
De-rating factors explained. The UK Capacity Market auctions, which procure reserve energy capacity in annual one year-ahead (T-1) and four years-ahead auctions (T-4), have increasingly been handing out contracts to energy storage. National Grid ESO is re-assessing how much energy storage gets paid in the Capacity Market, …
Image: AESC UK. The UK government has published its ''Battery Strategy'', setting out measures to facilitate the growth of a domestic battery industry to support the EV and energy storage system (ESS) sectors. The release yesterday (26 November) comes at a time when the EU and the US press ahead with plans to support …

Potential Electricity Storage Routes to 2050. Every year National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) produces our Future Energy Scenarios (FES). These scenarios explore …
The UK''s lack of long-term storage means the country currently wastes enough wind energy every year to power more than a million homes. Solar generation increased from 21TWh to 156TWh in 2020 and a fourfold increase in orders brought on by the volatile energy market coupled with the extreme heatwave has been widely reported …
From deploying sources of low carbon flexibility, such as short-duration electricity storage, flexible demand and interconnectors, analysis has indicated that there could be significant …
