BESS fund manager Gore Street Capital’s director of asset management Daniel Sherlock-Burke recently discussed the work it is doing around capturing and making use of its huge quantities of operational data.

The UK market saw strong interest and activity in 2025 but now appears to be shifting from a development market to one focused on execution, writes Solar Media analyst Charlotte Gisbourne.

While the UK grid-scale BESS market continues to be among the busiest in Europe, there are still huge questions and plenty work to be done in several key policy areas.

The UK grid-scale battery storage market grew 45% in 2025, with 4GWh coming online during the year, bringing total operational capacity to 12.9GWh.

BESS asset management in the UK has moved beyond the rudimentary ‘project delivery and basic O&M’ approach, a speaker at the upcoming Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland explained in a Q&A.

Local authorities approved 1,237MW/2,474MWh of grid-scale BESS in the UK, the latest data from our monthly roundup shows.

Energy-Storage.news proudly presents our sponsored webinar with GridBeyond, on extracting the maximum value from battery storage assets in Great Britain (GB) and Ireland.

Just over 70% of the successful projects in the first window of the UK’s long-duration energy storage (LDES) scheme are using lithium-ion BESS technology.

Projects supported by the UK government’s long-duration energy storage (LDES) cap-and-floor could significantly dampen price spreads but also affect non-LDES flexibility assets.

Fidra Energy has secured £1 billion for the largest BESS in the UK, while EDF and Elements Green have agreed a toll for a 720MWh system.
