    Energy storage power station free of basic electricity charges policy

    Electricity storage covers a range of technologies that store low carbon energy for when it is needed, for example in batteries on the wall of your home or business, or in facilities that pump water to higher reservoirs when electricity is abundant, and let it flow back down through a turbine when it is scarce. We are legislating. The Bill amends the Electricity Act 1989 to, in effect, clarify that electricity storage is a distinct subset of generation, and defines the storage as energy that was converted from electricity and is stored for the purpose of its future. Government is facilitating the deployment of electricity storage at all scales through the joint OFGEM and BEIS Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan. This focuses on actions to create a best. The following documents are relevant to the measures and can be read at the stated locations: 1. A smart, flexible energy system: question summaries and response from.

    FAQs about Energy storage power station free of basic electricity charges policy

    Should 'electricity storage' be included in the electricity generation licence?

    To include a definition of 'electricity storage' and 'electricity storage facility' in the electricity generation licence, in order to clarify the role of electricity storage in the energy system; and

    Should electricity storage be regulated as electricity generation?

    Alongside government, we have clarified our view that in the energy system, storage provides services equivalent to generation. Therefore, our view is that electricity storage – for licensing purposes - should be treated as electricity generation. We have previously stated that our approach to regulating storage4should be:

    Should electricity storage be formalised as a subset of generation?

    Formalising electricity storage as a distinct subset of generation removes current ambiguities and provides long term clarity and certainty over its treatment within the existing frameworks (e.g. planning and licensing) and possible future frameworks.
