What are the London energy storage power supply standards

What is the long duration electricity storage (LDEs) cap and floor scheme?

PDF, 3.93 MB, 60 pages In October 2024, the government decided to introduce a Long Duration Electricity Storage (LDES) cap and floor scheme that will be delivered by Ofgem. The cap and floor scheme was strongly supported through consultation responses and builds on the approach already used to successfully deliver more electricity interconnection.

Is the current H&S standards framework suitable for electricity storage?

In response to the ongoing growth of installed and planned electricity storage capacity, there is a requirement to ensure that the current health and safety (H&S) standards framework for electricity storage is appropriate, robust and future proofed.

What are the different types of energy storage standards?

More generic standards tend to focus on risks common to different storage types (e.g. electric shock) as well as specific risks for mature technologies. These standards include the IET code of practice for electrical energy storage systems and the recently released IEC-62933-5-2 which is specific to electrochemical storage systems.

What is long duration energy storage (LDEs)?

Long duration energy storage (LDES), defined as storage of longer than 8 hours, is a vital part of the UK's future power system, helping to leverage the excess electricity produced today, store it, and deploy it as needed by the grid.
