Technical FAQs 4

What is the future of battery energy storage systems (Bess) UK & Europe?

As electrification accelerates and renewables expand across Europe, grid congestion and limited connection capacity pose growing challenges - particularly for new BESS. Our new report, Future of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) UK & Europe, analyses the BESS sector across ten major UK and European jurisdictions.

Can a battery storage project transform the UK's energy landscape?

Projects like these can transform the energy landscape by producing 24/7 renewable power supply at utility scale. Yet in the UK, it is a different story. Deployment has been sluggish. Since 2021, when Masdar decided to invest £1bn in 3GWh of battery storage projects nationwide, progress has been stifled by systemic constraints.

How many battery storage projects are there?

The pipeline of battery storage projects has continued to grow steadily again, from 84.4GW in December 2023 to 95.5GW in May 2024. This edition of the EnergyPulse report on Energy Storage shows there is 8.7GW of batteries in operation and under construction and more than 30GW projects have now been consented.

Should battery storage be developed at scale across Europe?

Lead author Research Fellow Claudia Brown (UCL Bartlett School of Environment, Energy & Resources) added: “Developing battery storage at scale across Europe is essential if we are to decarbonise the electricity system at pace.
