Long Duration Electricity Storage investment support scheme will boost investor confidence and unlock billions in funding for vital projects. The UK is a step closer to energy independence as the government launches a new scheme to help build energy storage infrastructure.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has announced a long duration energy storage (LDES) cap and floor investment scheme to help bring forward more energy storage schemes. DESNZ said the scheme would be administered by Ofgem and is intended to support a significant uplift in the UK’s energy storage capacity.
DESNZ said the LDES investment scheme “could see the first significant long duration energy storage (LDES) facilities in nearly four decades, helping to create back up renewable power and bolster the UK’s energy security.
The Strategic Spatial Energy Plan (SSEP) will help accelerate and optimise the transition to clean, affordable and secure energy across Great Britain by providing greater clarity to industry, investors, consumers and the public on the shape of our future reformed energy system.
We're consulting on the policy framework to enable investment in long duration electricity storage. Long duration electricity storage can provide an important contribution to decarbonising our energy system. For example, it can store renewable power and discharge it during periods of low wind.
Ofgem director of major projects Beatrice Filkin said: “We are pleased to see the government’s publication today on its plans for long duration electricity storage. “Unlocking investment in this important technology is another significant step towards decarbonisation of the power system.
