Is energy storage regulated?

Whilst the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (“BEIS”) and Ofgem have been supportive of energy storage and recognise the benefits and flexibility provided by the various technologies, there is no specific legislation on or regulation of storage at present.

Is energy storage a good option for frequency response?

Energy storage is a good option for frequency response, a storage trade group will tell the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission this month.

How does frequency regulation work?

Frequency regulation involves real-time adjustments to the power grid to counteract fluctuations in electricity supply and demand. Here’s a closer look at how this process works: Grid operators continuously monitor the frequency of the electricity grid.

Why do we need energy storage solutions?

When the demand for electricity fluctuates throughout the day, the power grid must be continuously adjusted to ensure a consistent frequency. The lack of sufficient energy storage solutions, combined with fluctuations in energy production mainly due to an increase in solar and wind power, creates an urgency for modern energy solutions.
