Deployment will also depend on ongoing developments in energy markets and a better understanding and communication of the risks. The Government will implement a policy on longer duration energy storage by 2024.

Baroness Brown of Cambridge, Chair of the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee. A House of Lords committee has warned the Government that it must act fast to ensure long-duration energy storage technologies can scale up in time to play a vital role in decarbonising the electricity system and ensuring energy security by 2035.
A strategic reserve of electricity storage is a critical investment to secure the UK’s energy supply against future shocks, but the Government is still equivocating over whether it is necessary to invest in one. “Since 2023, the Government has had a Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a staff working document, providing an outlook of the EU’s current regulatory, market, and financing framework for storage and identifies barriers, opportunities and best practices for its development and deployment.
“In light of the huge economic damage the recent energy crisis has caused, it is distressing to see that the Government lacks a clear plan for energy supply risks and indeed is still deliberating over investment in energy storage to prevent future crises.” Baroness Brown of Cambridge, Chair of the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee.
Why are we legislating? Electricity storage covers a range of technologies that store low carbon energy for when it is needed, for example in batteries on the wall of your home or business, or in facilities that pump water to higher reservoirs when electricity is abundant, and let it flow back down through a turbine when it is scarce.
The UK''s energy system relies on the storage of fossil fuels to manage variations in supply and demand over varying timescales. As these are replaced to meet the net zero emissions target, new types of low-carbon, …
