As of June 2023, the UK has more than 2.4GW of installed battery storage capacity and a total pipeline of planned capacity exceeding 66GW. The size of each project has grown significantly each year with the largest segment of this pipeline now comprising of sites over 100MW: (chart from December 2022)
The cost of building a new battery energy storage system has fallen by 30% in the last two years. In 2022, a new two-hour system would have cost upwards of £800k/MW to build. In 2024, that figure is £600k/MW. Cost reductions are expected to continue into 2025 and beyond. 2. Lower Capex is offsetting lower revenues
Solar & Storage Live 2024 took place between September 24th and 26th at the NEC in Birmingham. On day two, Modo’s GB Markets Lead Wendel discussed the current key trends for battery energy storage in Great Britain. This article summarizes that presentation. 1. Battery energy storage capex is falling, a lot
Currently, solar battery prices in the UK cost anywhere between £2,500 and £10,000 depending on the battery capacity, type of battery and lifespan. A typical 5 kilowatt hour (kWh) solar battery, suitable for a three-bedroom house, costs £5,000, on average.
Battery energy storage buildout has been slower than expected... Capex reductions are good for the long-term pipeline of battery energy storage in GB, but in 2024 buildout has been slower than expected. The amount of new capacity added per quarter increased throughout 2023, with over 1.5 GW of new BESS capacity coming online throughout the year.
As renewable capacity is added to the grid, the need to store and flexibly manage electricity grows with it. This is where the crucial role of battery energy storage systems (BESS) come into play, storing and releasing energy for when it’s needed most. We look at what’s happening with the growth of BESS in the UK.
