Storage could not only offer efficiencies for GB in managing its own power grid, but could also be a business opportunity for UK plc, according to a report from organisation Regen SW.

The Regen SW paper said: “UK projects are ­demonstrating a high degree of technical sophistication and ­complexity, including the development of new business models, ­aggregation, grid integration and system controls.

“This suggests that while the UK may not become a hub for battery manufacturing, it could become a centre for system architecture design, integration and business innovation.”
