National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED) has announced plans to release 10GW of grid capacity for renewable energy generators and battery storage projects.
Yesterday afternoon (28 March), members of the energy sector held a briefing discussing what they hope to be included in the UK Government’s ‘Green Day’ announcement on Thursday (30 March).
Ofgem has confirmed the final investment package for network operators over the five years of the RIIO-ED2 period, setting total expenditure on average -11.8% below that submitted by the operators.
National Grid is rolling out a new non-contact overhead power line monitoring system as part of a trial that could unlock 0.6GW of additional capacity a year.
Western Power Distribution’s Take Charge Project has gone live at Moto’s Exeter motorway service station providing electrical capacity for 80 rapid chargers off the M5.
An expansion of the Rapid Charging Fund (RCF) to cover all road transport could deliver enough capacity for en-route Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) charging and hydrogen re-fuelling at up to 78% of motorway service areas in England.
