This report will be launched to coincide with Clean Power Grid Conference 2025, 1 May 2025 at the IET, London. Overall though, the breakdown of the battery storage pipeline in the UK indicates a position of growth, with a large proportion of the pipeline capacity in early development, in planning and consented stages.
Introduction The UK’s solar energy and battery storage sector is undergoing a rapid transformation, bolstered by ambitious climate targets and supportive policies. Solar photovoltaics (PV) capacity has rebounded since the end of feed-in tariffs, while energy storage is scaling up to enhance grid reliability.
The UK’s total battery storage project pipeline currently contains a total of 127GW of capacity. Figure 1 demonstrates the amount of capacity at each development stage as a proportion of the total pipeline. 8% of the capacity pipeline in the UK is operational or under construction, with 31% approved and yet to begin construction.
Energy storage, meanwhile, has opportunities beyond just lithium batteries – the UK can become a leader in emerging storage tech such as flow batteries, hydrogen storage, and gravity-based systems (several prototypes are being trialled, supported by government innovation grants).
