6 FAQs about [Interpretation of energy storage power station loan policy]
What are energy storage policies?
These policies are mostly concentrated around battery storage system, which is considered to be the fastest growing energy storage technology due to its efficiency, flexibility and rapidly decreasing cost. ESS policies are primarily found in regions with highly developed economies, that have advanced knowledge and expertise in the sector.
How do ESS policies promote energy storage?
ESS policies mostly promote energy storage by providing incentives, soft loans, targets and a level playing field. Nevertheless, a relatively small number of countries around the world have implemented the ESS policies.
Is energy storage regulated?
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.
Should energy be stored for years 29 to 31?
In order to use storage to fill the deficits in years 29 to 31, it would be necessary to store energy for decades. Studies of shorter periods seriously underestimate the need for storage. Contingency is included in the modelling to allow for variations not seen in this period.
Where can I find a glossary on electricity storage?
Glossary available as part of the Large-scale electricity storage report, available at royalsociety.org/electricity-storage
What role will large-scale electricity storage play in a GB electricity system?
