As set out above, there are a wide variety of energy storage technologies and applications available. As a result there are a number of legal issues to consider, although the relative importance of such issues will be informed by the specific energy storage project design. revenue stream requirements e.g. double circuit connection.
While we focus on Europe considering relevant recent legal developments, our conclusions are useful to other geographies, e.g., the U.S. and Australia, where regulatory barriers to energy storage also exist ( Schmitt and Sanford, 2018; Soliman Hunter and Taylor, 2020; Sue et al., 2014; Sakti et al., 2018a; Tiwari et al., 2021 ).
Each summary covers the sector’s development and the legal and regulatory environment to consider in the deployment of energy storage projects.
Analysis of impact of the new EU legal framework on the value of energy storage. Interdisciplinary methodology using legal analysis, expert interviews and modelling. Study of various storage technologies and applications across 12 EU countries. New legal regime fits for behind-the-meter batteries, which can become widespread.
As is evident from our survey, a range of energy storage projects have been installed or are due to be deployed in the majority of jurisdictions; and whilst battery technologies are receiving the bulk of industry attention at present, a range of technologies have been, and are due to be, installed, pumped hydro storage in particular.
In these projects, the energy storage technology will be developed alongside a generation facility. An example of a co-located project could be a solar park developed alongside a battery; in times of high generation or low energy prices, the battery can store the solar-generated power, to be exported later, at the evening peak.
