The UK’s operational energy storage currently stands at 3.23 GW, with billions MW in the planning or development stage, according to a report from the Renewable Energy Association. The “Energy Storage in the UK: An Overview” report revealed the 3.23 GW includes 35 standalone grid-scale projects and around 1,500 residential projects, with new energy projects mostly focusing on battery storage. There is also an additional 200 MW of “enhanced frequency response” projects contracted by the National Grid. The new storage is in line with efforts to increase renewable energy usage, and will save at least 453 if integrated on a large-scale basis.
