How Battery Energy Storage Supports the UK’s Net Zero Goals

Supporting a Low-Carbon Future

The UK government has committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This ambitious goal demands a complete rethink of how we produce, store, and use energy. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a key enabler of this transition.

The Role of Battery Storage in Decarbonisation

Battery storage allows renewable energy to be captured and used when needed, even if the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. This solves one of the biggest challenges of renewables: intermittency. With BESS, solar and wind power become more reliable and more viable at scale.

Grid Stability and Reduced Fossil Dependence

As more renewables are added to the grid, battery systems help balance supply and demand in real time. This reduces reliance on gas-powered peaker plants and other fossil fuel-based backup systems.

Empowering Businesses and Communities

Businesses can use on-site battery systems to cut carbon, lower energy bills, and reduce pressure on the grid. Homes and communities can also benefit from localised energy storage, enabling greener, more self-sufficient neighbourhoods.
