Currently, the total operational capacity for battery storage in the UK is 1.3GW with 130MW having been commissioned already this year. The graphic below shows a flow diagram that summarises the remaining 2021 site prospects, within the total pipeline of 686 sites.
Which region has the largest battery storage capacity in the UK?
Image: Solar Media. So far, battery storage sites have been installed throughout all regions of the UK, with the South East region having the largest operational capacity and an even larger proportion of the total planned capacity; therefore, it is not surprising to see the South East region dominating the capacity in the 2021 site prospects.
How big should a battery storage project be?
For battery storage sites, project size usually depends on the type of project being developed. So far, the most common size for energy storage sites has been 50MW (although sites are now being planned larger). However, battery storage capacity tends to be smaller when co-located with solar and other renewables.
