Britain’s largest grid-scale battery installation, the Minety battery storage project completed in 2022 in Wiltshire, southern England, is capable of absorbing or delivering 150 megawatts – roughly equivalent to the power demand of 450,000 UK households.
RenewableUK’s ‘EnergyPulse’ energy storage report showed that the total pipeline of battery projects has increased from 50.3GW a year ago to 84.8GW, an increase of 68.6 per cent, or 34.5GW. Operational battery storage capacity has grown to 3.5GW, while the capacity of projects under construction has reached 3.8GW.
Currently in the UK, there is 1.6 GW of operational battery storage capacity mostly with 1-hour discharge duration, i.e. 1:1 ratio of energy to power, GWh to GW. The maximum installed volume of PHS is 25.8 GWh with 2.74 GW of capacity, a much higher ratio. In recent years, there has been a surge in the pipeline of battery energy storage projects.
Kelly Loukatou, one of the ESO’s energy insight leads, considers the role energy storage plays in the current energy landscape and how this is likely to develop. Energy systems need to continuously match supply and demand to ensure that electricity is delivered securely to UK houses and businesses.
The 500MW/1,000MWh Coalburn project in Scotland, UK, currently under construction. Image: CIP. Despite a 12% year-on-year fall in the capacity of newly submitted planning applications in 2024, there is still a strong interest in the UK energy storage market as a whole.
Britain will only make effective use of its energy potential if grid-scale energy storage keeps pace with the expansion of new windfarms and other forms of intermittent renewable energy, such as solar.
