6 Frequently Asked Questions about “British coal-to-photovoltaic energy storage configuration requirements”

How much battery storage is needed in Great Britain?

Currently, there is 4.5 GW of battery storage capacity in Great Britain [footnote 96], the majority of which is grid-scale. Based on NESO and DESNZ battery storage growth scenarios for 2030, we expect 23-27 GW of battery storage to be needed by 2030 to support clean power, a very significant level of increase.

How will the new British Standard affect home battery storage installations?

The new British Standard for the fire safety of home battery storage installations, which came into force on the 31st March 2024, will have significant impact on how and where new home batteries are installed. PAS 63100:2024: Electrical installations. Protection against fire of battery energy storage systems (BESS) for use in dwellings.

How much LDEs capacity is needed to reach the 'clean power capacity range'?

Current installed capacity (2024) is 2.9GW and the DESNZ 'Clean Power Capacity Range' is 4-6GW. This shows there is an additional 1.1GW of LDES capacity required to reach the DESNZ 'Clean Power Capacity Range'. Source: Table 1 Current installed capacity compared to the DESNZ 'Clean Power Capacity Range' in 2030 (GW)

How much offshore wind capacity is needed to reach 'clean power range'?

This shows that the sum of current capacity and capacity committed or under construction is 30.8GW and that there is an additional 12.2GW of offshore wind capacity required to reach the DESNZ 'Clean Power Capacity Range'. Onshore Wind Current installed capacity compared to the DESNZ 'Clean Power Capacity Range' in 2030 (GW).

What is the 'clean power capacity range' for batteries?

Description of figure: A scale that shows current installed capacity for batteries and how this compares to the DESNZ 'Clean Power Capacity Range' for batteries. Current installed capacity (Q4 2024) is 4.5GW and the DESNZ 'Clean Power Capacity Range' is 23-27GW.

Should grid-scale batteries be included in future planning reforms?

Grid-scale batteries take a long time to gain planning approval and are not currently referenced in the national planning policy framework. DESNZ will work with MHCLG to consider how grid-scale batteries, and their importance for clean power in 2030 and net zero, could be referenced in future planning reforms.
