Photograph: Phil Noble/Reuters A new front has opened up in the post-Brexit tensions between Boris Johnson and the EU over Brussels’ concerns that the British wind turbine industry is being favoured for government contracts worth billions of pounds.

How will UK energy storage capacity grow in 2022?

Favorable government policies, the declining price of solar modules and wind turbines, and agreements to reduce the increasing carbon footprint are a few prominent factors supporting the capacity growth in the country. In November 2022, the UK government announced to provide a funding of EUR 32.9 million to energy storage projects.

Will flexible technology save the UK's energy system?

Thus, flexible technologies, like batteries, are likely to become part of the United Kingdom's smarter electricity grid, supporting the integration of more low-carbon power, heat, and transport technologies, and it is likely to save the UK energy system up to USD 60 billion by 2050.

Will upcoming solar projects increase the demand for batteries in the UK?

Thus, such upcoming projects are likely to increase the demand for batteries in the United Kingdom during the forecast period. By the end of December 2022, the United Kingdom registered around 14.4 GW of installed solar capacity, and the new capacity added was around 613 MW in the same year.

What drives the growth of the ESS market in the UK?

The rapid growth in the renewable energy sector is expected to be one of the strongest drivers for the growth of the ESS market in the United Kingdom. Renewable energy capacity developed significantly this year, accounting for nearly 52.42 GW of cumulative renewable power.
