The UK''s first lithium-ion battery energy storage system, connected to the National Grid''s high-voltage transmission system, has become operational. The 50MW system is part of the £41 million Energy Superhub Oxford (ESO) project, which is backed by the UK Government and led by Pivot Power, part of EDF Renewbles.
Battery storage capacity in Great Britain is likely to heavily increase as move towards operating a zero-carbon energy system. At the end of 2019 the GB battery storage capacity was 0.88GWh. Our forecasts suggest that it could be as high as 2.30GWh in 2025. The rise of Battery Electric Vehicles means Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) will become

This brings its total portfolio in Scotland to 1050MW / 2100MWh and equates to more than the total MWh of all grid-connected batteries operating in the UK today. The investment into these three major projects represents a turning point in how major grid scale battery storage can support the grid as fossil fuel generation is phased out."
Currently in the UK, there is 1.6 GW of operational battery storage capacity mostly with 1-hour discharge duration, i.e. 1:1 ratio of energy to power, GWh to GW. The maximum installed volume of PHS is 25.8 GWh with 2.74 GW of capacity, a much higher ratio. In recent years, there has been a surge in the pipeline of battery energy storage projects.
Nonetheless, it can be considered something of a landmark project for the UK, which now has around 1.3GW of operational grid-connected battery storage.
