UK government initiative will make $211 million (US$235 million) available over the next three years.

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is now a proven technology but there is still plenty of work left to do for it to scale in the consumer vehicle sector.

Flow battery companies CMBlue Energy and Redflow, both of whom have developed solutions using alternatives to vanadium, have struck commercial deals in Austria and the US, respectively.

The implementation of regulative security is all that is needed to bring in investment for long duration storage.

The first awards of funding designed to “turbocharge” UK projects developing long-duration energy storage technologies have been made by the country’s government, with £6.7 million (US$9.11 million) pledged. 

It is increasingly becoming recognised that energy storage is crucial in helping the UK to meet its targets for reducing emissions and ensuring reliability of the energy system. In this panel discussion from the Energy Storage Summit 2021 held earlier this year, experts and stakeholders discuss what sort of changes might need to happen to make that contribution possible.

The UK’s move to net zero emissions will require a reinforced distribution network and a varied mix of energy storage technologies to make the most of low-cost renewables generation, a panel has suggested.

The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in the UK has given the green light to the country’s biggest ever battery storage project.

Barriers have been removed allowing for battery storage projects five times the size as the current limit in Britain, in a move hailed as a “significant, positive and well-timed” step.
