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. This will help attract funding and enable them to be built more quickly. According to the UK Battery Storage Project Database Report, there are more than 13.5GW of battery storage projects in the pipeline.

How will Neso support the UK's energy transition?

John Pettigrew, Chief Executive of National Grid, said: We look forward to working together with NESO to continue to drive the UK’s energy transition forward at pace; accelerating the decarbonisation of the energy system for the digital, electrified economies of the future. Paul Golby, Chair of the National Energy System Operator said:
