About the session

The development of energy storage is vital to the sustained operation of the UK’s busy grid network, carbon grid and transport system, maintaining supply and bridging the gap in peak conditions.

Find out in greater detail how energy storage is deployed the GB system and what the current landscape is for this technology.

You will hear from industry leaders who will examine and explore the impact on infrastructure including standards and the new RIIO regime, the practicalities and technical issues of storage with an overview of what we can expect from storage in the future taking into consideration technology development, the changes in the value of storage and using storage to supply new services.
