Are UK gas storage sites half full in 2025?
“As of the 9th of January 2025, UK storage sites are 26% lower than last year’s inventory at the same time, leaving them around half full. This means the UK has less than a week of gas demand in store,” Centrica, operator of the country’s largest gas storage site and owner of energy supplier British Gas, said in a statement.
Should the UK invest in a strategic reserve of electricity storage?
A strategic reserve of electricity storage is a critical investment to secure the UK’s energy supply against future shocks, but the Government is still equivocating over whether it is necessary to invest in one. “Since 2023, the Government has had a Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Could long-duration energy storage technology be a key to energy security?
Baroness Brown of Cambridge, Chair of the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee. A House of Lords committee has warned the Government that it must act fast to ensure long-duration energy storage technologies can scale up in time to play a vital role in decarbonising the electricity system and ensuring energy security by 2035.
Does the UK need long-duration energy storage?
Long-duration energy storage is critical for ensuring the UK can have both, so it must be a key priority for the Department. “The Government says it wants to deploy enough storage both to balance and to decarbonise the electricity system by 2035, but we are not on track.
Why are countries investing in energy storage?
Nuclear power, which is zero-carbon, also offers a steady supply. Alongside this, though, countries are investing heavily in energy storage. When lots of electricity is generated but isn't needed, it can be stored – then when there is a shortage it can be released. "The main point is to be able to match generation and demand," says Todeschini.
Why are so many green energy projects on hold?
Billions of pounds' worth of green energy projects are on hold because they cannot plug into the UK's electricity system, BBC research shows. Some new solar and wind sites are waiting up to 10 to 15 years to be connected because of a lack of capacity in the system - known as the "grid".
