6 FAQs about [New Energy Storage Grid Connection Policy]

Will new rules speed up electricity grid connections for viable projects?

New rules to speed up electricity grid connections for viable projects and allow stalled or speculative developers to be forced out of the queue have been announced by Ofgem.

What should the Secretary of State consider when considering grid connection issues?

Network connection: 2.8.285 When considering grid connection issues, the Secretary of State should be mindful of the requirements of the regulatory regime for onshore and offshore electricity networks, and consider how this affects the proposal put forward by the applicant.

What is the new approach to transmission storage connections?

The new approach to transmission storage connections – a flagship policy in the ESO’s five-point plan to speed up connections – comes as National Grid ET undertakes an extensive review of projects in the connections pipeline in England and Wales to identify which can come forward based on new planning assumptions agreed with the ESO.

What are the barriers to the development of energy storage systems?

Barriers to the development of BESSs and other energy storage systems also include high upfront capital costs, uncertain revenue streams and delays to grid connections. In response to these concerns, the government published its action plan to accelerate grid connections in November 2023.

How many GW does a grid connection have?

The queue for connection to the grid now contains an equivalent capacity of 722GW [footnote 1] across the transmission and distribution networks, and we are seeing long connection timescales that continue to delay investment in energy infrastructure and timely electrification of the wider economy.

Why do we need accelerated connection to the grid?

To achieve that mission, we need to connect new clean power projects and low-carbon flexibility such as electricity storage in a timely way. And the new demand projects needed to drive the government’s growth mission, from data centres to housing, will also need accelerated connection to the grid.
