Challenge #1 – Securing Permits and Receiving Grid Interconnection Approvals. Securing all required permits is essential prior to deploying proposed energy storage systems. Unfortunately, the permitting process is also a top challenge known to delay the start of construction and, even worse, can altogether halt a planned project.
Site Conditions. Because of the value of battery storage in storing and delivering energy close to where the energy is needed, standalone battery storage projects are typically sited as close as possible to the point of interconnection (" POI "), or, in the case of C&I projects, on customer-owned land. Additionally, brownfields or ...

Planning law in the UK has been changed to allow energy storage projects over 50MW to come on line without going through the national planning process. This could pave the way for a major expansion of battery storage facilities across our towns and cities, to support green energy use in new builds and to balance our energy demand.
Energy storage is of particular interest to large energy-intensive businesses, especially those who need to ensure electricity reliability and availability. For corporations operating in markets with unreliable grid infrastructure or in remote environments, it can also help eliminate the need to rely on backup generators which often run on diesel.
