How much long-duration energy storage (LDES) does the UK system need, is the government’s cap-and-floor the right way to procure it, and what does the long-term picture look like?
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.
Ofgem, the UK’s energy market regulator, is considering raising the minimum duration of technologies eligible for a long-duration energy storage (LDES) support scheme.
UK energy regulator Ofgem has confirmed it will press ahead with a contentious reform of electricity network charges which stands to damage the economics of distributed generation and energy storage projects in the country.
UK energy regulator Ofgem has been accused of “passing the buck” over the financial repercussions of its Targeted Charging Review (TCR) on flexibility projects in the country.
The UK’s regulator, Ofgem, is hoping to eradicate the double-charging of storage assets through the addition of a formal definition of energy storage to the regulatory framework.
An updated technical guide to co-locating renewables and battery storage has clarified previously conflicting guidance on the matter, removing barriers and potentially unlocking the “tremendous potential” of solar homes.
UK energy market regulator Ofgem has set out a plan which would see fixed charges applied to all final demand network users irrespective of their ability to reduce their impact on the grid through generation or flexibility.
