Credit: David Pimborough / Shutterstock. The government of the UK has launched a new investment support scheme aimed at bolstering the country's energy storage infrastructure. The initiative aims to encourage the development of long-duration energy storage (LDES) facilities, which have not seen significant investment in nearly four decades.
(Bloomberg) -- The UK government is launching a new funding program to unlock investment in long duration storage, a key part of its drive to optimize the expansion of renewable energy. Under the so-called cap and floor regime — already used for electricity interconnectors — energy storage developers will be guaranteed minimum revenues.
Long Duration Electricity Storage investment support scheme will boost investor confidence and unlock billions in funding for vital projects. The UK is a step closer to energy independence as the government launches a new scheme to help build energy storage infrastructure.

“Energy storage is what keeps the lights on and homes warm when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow, so investing in our storage capacity makes perfect economic sense. “We need to think of storage as a very valuable insurance policy.” Centrica operates the country's largest gas storage site at the Rough field in the North Sea.
However, new energy storage technologies can store excess energy to be used at a later point, so the energy can be used rather than wasted – meaning we can rely even more on renewable generation rather than fossil fuels, helping boost the UK's long-term energy resilience.
