The seminar considered key policy and market priorities for energy and battery storage in the UK.
Delegates discussed the regulatory challenges affecting the growth of the sector, considering electricity market design and its effects on grid connected energy storage, and how network charges and variable base and peak load rates can dissuade domestic users from connecting to the grid.
Further sessions examined the development of energy storage for smart electricity grids, and the opportunities it presents for advancing decarbonisation across the power sector - focusing on its future role in providing network flexibility, increasing shares of renewable energy, improving market signals, and avoiding unnecessary and costly investment in new generation assets.
Delegates also discussed priorities for investment and innovation in the sector - looking at finance for energy storage units, non-Lithium based energy storage technologies, and the challenges for meeting demand from the growth of the electric vehicle market.
