The UK's Carbon Trust has demonstrated the benefits of energy storage to major suppliers, including Centrica, SSE, Scottish Energy, Dong Energy and Statoil. Its Energy Systems Innovation Platform project will investigate how to integrate wind energy into the grid using energy storage systems and how to remove barriers to investment in energy storage. A new report by the UK Government on its plans for a low-carbon economy shows that it is not just about cutting greenhouse gas emissions but also creating jobs and boosting economic growth.
