Battery energy storage system (BESS) developer Root-Power has announced that it has submitted plans for four energy storage projects into Ofgem’s long-duration energy storage (LDES) tender.

In this contributed blog, Sam Langston, power markets manager at Pulse Clean Energy explores the LDES cap and floor scheme’s potential impact on BESS investment.

Battery energy storage system developers have written an open letter arguing Ofgem’s long-duration energy storage support scheme introduces biases against BESS.

At the beginning of the month, Ofgem announced that the National Energy System Operator (NESO) would develop Regional Energy Strategic Plans (RESPs) for Scotland, Wales, and nine regions across England.

Ofgem has said that grid connection reform could unlock 65GW of prospective utility-scale solar PV developments.

The UK’s energy regulator Ofgem has launched a new cap and floor investment support scheme in an effort to unlock billions in funding for new Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) projects.

Energy minister Michael Shanks has written to the heads of the National Energy System Operator (NESO) and Ofgem to address concerns surrounding solar capacities in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan (CPAP).

The UK government will publish its flexibility road map later this year, setting a precedent for the rollout of long-duration energy storage (LDES).

The government has published its Technical Decision Document confirming the crucial aspects of the long duration electricity storage (LDES) cap-and-floor scheme, with an increase in minimum duration among the main updates.

On a panel at the Energy Storage Summit in London, head of connections policy at Ofgem said grid connection reforms will ultimately mean “a clearer signal to networks about what to build”.
