Long Duration Electricity Storage (LDES) technologies contribute to decarbonising and making our energy system more resilient by storing electricity and releasing it when needed. LDES can also help reduce costs for consumers through reducing their bills and by avoiding the need for expensive electricity grid upgrades.
Ofgem is the regulator for Long Duration Electricity Storage and oversees implementation of a 'cap and floor' regime for LDES projects, proposed by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The aim of this regime is to stimulate investment in Long Duration Electricity Storage projects.
We expect storage projects to exponentially grow over the long term and become a key part of the UK and Ireland’s energy infrastructure. Ofgem has approved modifications removing the exclusion of storage at transmission voltages (GCode). Storage now falls under Generation within the Distribution Code (DCode).
Electricity storage is an emerging market and we work to ensure storage developments are integrated efficiently and effectively into the existing distribution network. We expect storage projects to exponentially grow over the long term and become a key part of the UK and Ireland’s energy infrastructure.
Long Duration Electricity Storage would reduce costs to consumers through lowering their energy bills, by avoided electricity grid reinforcement and avoided peak generational plant build. LCP's modelling estimates savings for the energy system (and ultimately the energy consumer) of up to £24 billion by 2050.
