The UK’s energy system is undergoing one of the biggest transformations in its history. Fossil fuels are being replaced by low carbon generators. Renewable energy such as solar, wind and storage play a critical part in the UK’s transition to net-zero.
As the UK looks to decarbonise many sectors including transport and heating, the move to carbon-free electricity will have to continue to increase.
For investors, confidence in battery storage is at an all-time high, and in this video, Alan Smallwood, Director of Optimisation at Anesco, looks at the climate change crisis, how the UK is responding, the impact on the UK’s electricity system and why we need battery storage / energy storage systems.
The video also covers what ancillary services are available, including Firm Frequency Response (FFR), wholesale trading and the opportunities within the balancing mechanism, and dynamic containment, one of the newest services to be launched by National grid.
