Energy-Storage.news proudly presents our sponsored webinar with TWAICE, ‘The gap between data and insights in BESS operations: findings from the 2026 BESS Pros Survey’.
Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is one of the strongest candidates for long duration energy storage. As the UK’s energy demand increases, it is becoming paramount to have sufficient levels of renewable energy storage available to cater for this.
We caught up with CSA Group’s Scott Daniels (SD), head of energy and power and Michael Becker (MB), technical specialist – energy storage, to discuss battery energy storage safety, standards and performance testing.
In mid-July, the 100MW / 100MWh Minety battery energy storage system (BESS) was completed in Wiltshire, southern England. Something of a landmark project for the UK and Europe’s battery storage industries, here’s what’s happened so far, as reported by our sister sites Current± and Solar Power Portal.
The pipeline for utility-scale battery storage in the UK has been continually increasing and is now over 20GW across more than 800 projects. A recent surge in submitted applications for battery storage has led to a record breaking quarterly submitted capacity for Q2’21.
