Northern Gas Networks and ITM Power are to collaborate on a power-to-gas energy-storage study.

Funding for the study was secured from the department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) as part of its energy storage feasibility study competition launched in January this year.

The NGN/ITM feasibility study will focus on deployments capable of operating cost-effectively – from 50MWh energy storage capacity upwards – in the boundaries of the NGN gas distribution network.
