A new era for renewable power and energy security begins today (Tuesday 8 April) as Ofgem launches a new cap and floor investment support scheme, unlocking billions in funding to build major Long Duration Electricity Storage projects for the first time in 40 years. Long Duration Electricity Storage. . Wind power is often generated in remote areas like the Scottish Highlands, where there is low electricity demand. To transmit this power over long distances to areas of higher demand (mostly in the south of England) requires power lines, but these have transmission limits and there are not enough. . Drax Group's ambition is to reach net zero across its value chain by the end of 2040, including steps aimed at decarbonising its supply chains. We believe investing in our people goes hand-in-hand with enabling the green energy transformation and positive future growth.

The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat) plans to convert three hydropower dams into massive energy storage systems with a 90-billion-baht investment. This effort aims to stabilize the clean energy supply, supplementing solar and wind power, which are subject. . Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) stores excess power of the system and supplies it when needed. As it discharges power quickly, it helps enhance the stability of the power system. PEA, responsible for electricity provision in 74 provinces, excluding urban centers like. . Solar and wind, the two key variable renewable energy (VRE) technologies which have been facilitating grid decarbonisation around the world in recent years, only account for a total of four per cent of Thailand's current electricity output. [2] While grid capacity is currently approximately 48.

After a historic 2025, when global BESS capacity surpassed 250 GW and overtook pumped hydropower, momentum is set to accelerate in 2026. Key markets are expanding, emerging regions are stepping into the spotlight, and battery storage is increasingly replacing gas generation. Despite policy changes and uncertainty in the world's two largest markets, the US and China, the sector continues to grow as developers push forward with larger and larger utility-scale projects. Since 2024. . We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48. With demand for energy storage soaring, what's next for batteries—and how can businesses, policymakers, and investors. .
