Should energy storage schemes get planning permission?

The change in the law should make it much easier for energy storage schemes to get planning permission, to attract funding more easily, and enable them to be built more quickly. The recent UK Battery Storage Project Database Report by suggested the UK has more than 13.5GW of battery storage projects in the pipeline.

What are the changes to planning legislation for energy storage projects?

The changes to planning legislation for larger energy storage projects were first announced back in October 2019 to allow planning applications to be determined without going through the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) process.

Will a 50MW battery storage project be able to come on line?

Planning law in the UK has been changed to allow energy storage projects over 50MW to come on line without going through the national planning process. This could pave the way for a major expansion of battery storage facilities across our towns and cities, to support green energy use in new builds and to balance our energy demand.

What are the challenges for new standalone energy storage projects?

The challenges for new standalone energy storage projects are as follows: revenue uncertainty – the contract terms available for many of the available revenue streams are short in duration; at four years, the term of EFR contract is the longest. As a consequence, projects have to manage greater revenue uncertainty over the lifetime of the project.

Can energy companies bypass the national planning process?
