Essentially, the relaxation of the planning rules means that battery storage projects above 50MW in England, and 350MW in Wales can now go ahead without needing to be approved through the national planning regime. The planning regime previously treated storage projects as ‘energy generation’ where projects over. . It means that most electricity storage projects, with the exception of pumped hydro schemes, can be determined through the Town and Country Planning Act, by local planning. . Previously, many developers sought to limit projects to 50MW to avoid the lengthy NSIP process, which also impacts on generation projects that are to be co-located with the storage.. . PWA Planning has a dedicated energy planningteam that can provide a wide range of services to providers looking to progress planning applications. . For developers, investors and landowners, this is great news, and we would encourage them to speak to their planning consultants and other. [pdf]
DEFRA is planning to bring battery energy storage systems (BESS) into the environmental permitting regime. However, some operators may be unaware that they may be subject to it already, putting themselves in potential legal jeopardy.
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.
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.
Energy companies and battery storage developers in the UK can now bypass the national planning process when developing large scale energy storage projects, thanks to a recent change in the law.
In July, ministers passed secondary legislation that will allow battery storage to bypass the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) process in Britain. This means storage projects above 50MW in England and 350MW in Wales to proceed without approval through the national planning regime.
The Environment Agency, which reports to Defra, wrote a summary of environmental issues pertaining to hydrogen, battery and thermal storage technologies in the autumn. DEFRA is planning to bring battery energy storage systems (BESS) into the environmental permitting regime.

Aluminium–air batteries (Al–air batteries) produce electricity from the reaction of in the with . They have one of the highest of all batteries, but they are not widely used because of problems with high anode cost and byproduct removal when using traditional electrolytes. This has restricted their use to mainly military applications. However, an with aluminium batteries has the potential for up to eight times the range of a As the demand for cleaner, more sustainable, and longer-lasting energy storage solutions grows, aluminium-air batteries have emerged as a promising technology. [pdf]
Here, aluminum–air batteries are considered to be promising for next-generation energy storage applications due to a high theoretical energy density of 8.1 kWh kg −1 that is significantly larger than that of the current lithium-ion batteries.
The aluminum–air battery is considered to be an attractive candidate as a power source for electric vehicles (EVs) because of its high theoretical energy density (8100 Wh kg −1), which is significantly greater than that of the state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
Aluminum–air batteries are remarkable due to their high energy density (8.1 kWh kg −1), light weight (2.71 g cm −3), environmentally friendly, good recyclability, and low cost [137,138]. Aluminum–air batteries consist of an aluminum anode, an air cathode and an electrolyte which is salty, alkaline, and nonaqueous solutions.
Aluminum–air (Al–air) batteries, both primary and secondary, are promising candidates for their use as electric batteries to power electric and electronic devices, utility and commercial vehicles and other usages at a relatively lower cost.
Owing to their attractive energy density of about 8.1 kW h kg −1 and specific capacity of about 2.9 A h g −1, aluminum–air (Al–air) batteries have become the focus of research.
The Al–air battery has proven to be very attractive as an efficient and sustainable technology for energy storage and conversion with the capability to power large electronic devices and vehicles. This review has summarized recent developments of Al anode, air cathode, and electrolytes in Al–air batteries.
