Can energy storage improve the resilience of the UK's electricity grid?

Over £32 million government funding has been awarded to UK projects developing cutting-edge innovative energy storage technologies that can help increase the resilience of the UK’s electricity grid while also maximising value for money.

What technologies can be used for energy storage?

Other technologies include liquid air energy storage, compressed air energy storage and flow batteries, which are currently in development and would benefit from investor support. Large scale storage provides the grid with both security and flexibility to dispatch electricity to manage seasonable peaks or low renewable output over a period of time.

Which energy storage system uses lithium ion batteries?

The Sunnica Solar-plus-Battery Energy Storage System is a 500,000kW lithium-ion batteryEngland, the UK. The electro-chemical battery storage project uses lithium-ion battery storage technology. The project will be commissioned in 2025. The project is owned and developed by Sunnica. 2. EFDA JET Fusion Flywheel Energy Storage System

Can new energy storage technologies boost UK energy resilience?

However, new energy storage technologies can store excess energy to be used at a later point, so the energy can be used rather than wasted – meaning we can rely even more on renewable generation rather than fossil fuels, helping boost the UK’s long-term energy resilience.
