6 FAQs about [Industrial and commercial energy storage project approval process]
What are the changes to planning legislation for energy storage projects?
The changes to planning legislation for larger energy storage projects were first announced back in October 2019 to allow planning applications to be determined without going through the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) process.
Should energy storage schemes get planning permission?
The change in the law should make it much easier for energy storage schemes to get planning permission, to attract funding more easily, and enable them to be built more quickly. The recent UK Battery Storage Project Database Report by suggested the UK has more than 13.5GW of battery storage projects in the pipeline.
Can energy companies bypass the national planning process?
Energy companies and battery storage developers in the UK can now bypass the national planning process when developing large scale energy storage projects, thanks to a recent change in the law.
Will a 50MW battery storage project be able to come on line?
Planning law in the UK has been changed to allow energy storage projects over 50MW to come on line without going through the national planning process. This could pave the way for a major expansion of battery storage facilities across our towns and cities, to support green energy use in new builds and to balance our energy demand.
How long does it take to plan an electricity storage project?
It means that most electricity storage projects, with the exception of pumped hydro schemes, can be determined through the Town and Country Planning Act, by local planning authorities. In effect this means that planning applications for projects over 50MW should, theoretically, be decided in between eight and 13 weeks depending on their size.
Why is a new energy storage system a barrier?
The previous system was cited as a barrier due to the time and cost of the process – which could add up to three years to a project’s development timeline, according to the Energy Storage Network. This change reflects the evolution of storage technologies in recent years.
