Is the UK battery storage market the world's fastest-growing project pipeline?

Banks Group’s latest announcement underscores the fact that the UK battery storage market has one of the world’s fastest-growing project pipelines. Banks Group plans to deploy a massive battery energy storage system with up to 2.8 GWh of capacity at the former Thorpe Marsh coal power station site near Doncaster, northeastern England.

Are electricity storage batteries a winner of the UK energy crisis?

The operators of electricity storage batteries are emerging as rare winners from the UK energy crisis, as the need to prepare for the threat of blackouts this winter intensifies and market volatility increases. The batteries help the electricity grid function, providing more energy when demand outstrips supply and storing excess power.
