However, Olly Frankland, an electricity storage specialist at Regen, said they had been “a little bit slower than they should have been”. “There is encouraging messaging and good direction of travel, but I think what we're asking for is a wider role for battery storage.”
Image: National Grid National Grid is speeding up the connection of about 10 GW of battery energy storage projects to the transmission network in England and Wales. The company, which runs Britain's energy systems, said that 19 projects will be offered new connection dates averaging four years earlier than their current agreement.
Ben Guest, managing director of the new energy division at Gresham House, said National Grid is underusing battery storage that is already incorporated in the system, although it is seen as a crucial part of efforts to cut carbon emissions.
Grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) enable us to use electricity more flexibly and decarbonise the energy system in a cost-effective way. [footnote 31] As the technology and innovation in battery design, manufacturing, transportation, and deployment evolves, so will the development of additional applications.
Work is part of ongoing collaborative industry efforts, together with Ofgem and government, to speed up and reform connections. National Grid is accelerating the connection of up to 20GW of clean energy projects to its electricity transmission and distribution networks in England and Wales as part of ongoing collaborative work across industry.
Following detailed technical analysis by electricity transmission engineers, National Grid will now offer selected battery projects a transmission connection before network reinforcements are made, on the agreement that the ESO can adjust the battery's behaviour in certain operating conditions to reduce system impact.
