As the battery technology prices have declined, energy storage projects in the United Kingdom have soared up in recent years. According to the Renewable UK, as of 2021, there were 1059 energy storage projects in the country, the increase in the number of energy storage projects will spur the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
The UK's largest battery energy storage system has gone live in North Yorkshire. Lakeside Energy Park is a 100MW facility in Drax, near Selby, which can provide power to about 30,000 homes a day across England and Wales.
Major companies developing UK energy storage projects include EDF, Pivot Power, Statera, and RES. Each company is active in several power supply and flexibility markets, providing services to National Grid, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), and operating in the wholesale energy markets.
Utility-scale energy storage activity in the UK saw strong growth during 2021 with annual deployment growing 70% compared to 2020. Additionally, the pipeline of future projects increased by 11 GW to over 27 GW by the end of 2021.
The company has around 1.2GWh of battery projects construction ready in the UK. Peter Kavanagh, CEO of Harmony Energy, said: “The completion of the Contego site is a significant milestone in the continued deployment of battery energy storage in the UK, representing our largest development to date and a significant contribution to the network.
