DEFRA is planning to bring battery energy storage systems (BESS) into the environmental permitting regime. However, some operators may be unaware that they may be subject to it already, putting themselves in potential legal jeopardy.
Whilst the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (“BEIS”) and Ofgem have been supportive of energy storage and recognise the benefits and flexibility provided by the various technologies, there is no specific legislation on or regulation of storage at present.
Alongside government, we have clarified our view that in the energy system, storage provides services equivalent to generation. Therefore, our view is that electricity storage – for licensing purposes - should be treated as electricity generation. We have previously stated that our approach to regulating storage4should be:
Our review demonstrates that no jurisdiction currently provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for energy storage, with the majority of jurisdictions currently allowing storage to be defined as “generation” for the purposes of licensing and other regulatory requirements.
This health and safety guidance for grid scale electricity storage, including batteries, aims to improve the navigability and understanding of existing standards. The deployment of grid scale electricity storage is expected to increase.
To include a definition of ‘electricity storage’ and ‘electricity storage facility’ in the electricity generation licence, in order to clarify the role of electricity storage in the energy system; and
