In northern Scotland, where wind generation often exceeds local demand, battery storage sites can store surplus electricity cheaply and sell it later when prices rise (‘arbitrage’). Energy storage sites store the surplus energy and then earn revenues according to the difference between the wholesale price and offer price.
Energy storage sites store the surplus energy and then earn revenues according to the difference between the wholesale price and offer price. As more wind capacity is added north of the border, these locational dynamics will become even more pronounced and significant.
The pipeline of battery storage projects has continued to grow steadily again, from 84.4GW in December 2023 to 95.5GW in May 2024. This edition of the EnergyPulse report on Energy Storage shows there is 8.7GW of batteries in operation and under construction and more than 30GW projects have now been consented.
There has been a shift in the pipeline for current and future long duration electricity storage (LDES), from over 7.2GW in December 2023 to 10.5GW in May 2024. In January, the Government published its long-awaited consultation on the cap and floor revenue stabilisation mechanism for LDES.
According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), for every £1 the UK has spent on renewables it has spent only 25p on cables and power lines. This imbalance highlights the urgent need for grid expansion and smarter policies to accelerate battery deployment, to ensure the grid can balance supply and demand and keep the lights on.
But the UK grid currently lacks the capacity to accommodate a massive renewables energy push. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), for every £1 the UK has spent on renewables it has spent only 25p on cables and power lines.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%.
