Attendees at Solar Media's first Energy Storage roundtable in London have agreed that the nascent energy storage sector will need robust regulation if it is to fufill its enormous potential.
Highview Power Storage, a UK company which makes energy storage systems based on liquid air technology, has said that work is well underway on a 5MW demonstration project in the north-west of England.
The nationwide introduction of voltage control across the UK’s electricity network could reduce demand by 3GW, according to distribution network operator (DNO) Electricity North West.
The British residential energy storage industry needs to avoid “false starts” which could result in “lots of inappropriately installed systems”, according to SunGift Enegy.
A diverse range of major environmental groups have rallied around a call for the Prime Minister David Cameron to clarify the government’s approach to renewables.
Nationalised energy companies and energy storage partnered with renewables at all scales holds the key to transforming Britain's energy supply, according to Public Power Solutions’ James Owen.
