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.
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.
Ofgem is the regulator for Long Duration Electricity Storage and oversees implementation of a 'cap and floor' regime for LDES projects, proposed by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The aim of this regime is to stimulate investment in Long Duration Electricity Storage projects.
Long Duration Electricity Storage would reduce costs to consumers through lowering their energy bills, by avoided electricity grid reinforcement and avoided peak generational plant build. LCP's modelling estimates savings for the energy system (and ultimately the energy consumer) of up to £24 billion by 2050.
Formalising electricity storage as a distinct subset of generation removes current ambiguities and provides long term clarity and certainty over its treatment within the existing frameworks (e.g. planning and licensing) and possible future frameworks.
The list of options detailed in Table 2 was developed through stakeholder engagement and engagement with teams across DESNZ and Ofgem. No changes, the market and environment stay exactly as it is. No specific changes for large-scale, long duration electricity storage.
