The UK’s energy regulator Ofgem has launched a new cap and floor investment support scheme in an effort to unlock billions in funding for new Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) projects.
Energy minister Michael Shanks has written to the heads of the National Energy System Operator (NESO) and Ofgem to address concerns surrounding solar capacities in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan (CPAP).
Storage and batteries are the “only way” to solve the “massively complex” green grid of the future, managing director of Adaptogen Capital James Mills said on a panel at the Energy Storage Summit in London last week.
Here, we explore what NESO’s proposed reforms are, how they might impact the solar energy sector and the renewable energy industry more broadly, and the feelings of the sector.
The UK’s National Energy System Operator (NESO) has issued a proposal that, if approved, would see the transmission impact assessment (TIA) threshold rise from 1MW to 5MW.
