Could a new energy storage scheme help the UK achieve energy independence?

The UK is a step closer to energy independence as the government launches a new scheme to help build energy storage infrastructure. This could see the first significant long duration electricity storage (LDES) facilities in nearly 4 decades, helping to create back up renewable power and bolster the UK’s energy security.

Could long duration electricity storage be the UK's first energy storage facility?

This could see the first significant long duration electricity storage (LDES) facilities in nearly 4 decades, helping to create back up renewable power and bolster the UK’s energy security. These technologies work like giant batteries by storing renewable energy and releasing it onto the grid and into homes when needed.

What is the long duration energy storage Investment Support Scheme?

Long Duration Electricity Storage investment support scheme will boost investor confidence and unlock billions in funding for vital projects. The UK is a step closer to energy independence as the government launches a new scheme to help build energy storage infrastructure.

What is the biggest battery storage project in the UK?

The 1,400MW (3,100MWh) project will be the largest battery storage project in the UK, and one of the largest in Europe. The project was approved by Doncaster Council on 28 January 2025 and will help strengthen the local economy by creating jobs during the construction and operation of the facility.

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.
