6 FAQs about Can energy storage projects be approved separately

What are the different types of energy storage projects?

Energy storage may be used in a range of project types, including standalone, co-located, and behind-the-meter projects. Standalone energy storage projects are increasingly utility-scale installations. For example, a battery array can provide a range of services, including ancillary services, to the system operator or network owner.

What is a standalone energy storage project?

Standalone energy storage projects are increasingly utility-scale installations. For example, a battery array can provide a range of services, including ancillary services, to the system operator or network owner. This type of project allows for the deferral of network reinforcement works or islanded networks.

How flexible is energy storage?

The flexibility of energy storage is demonstrated by projects being able to provide some or all of the following to the electricity system: Energy storage may be used in a range of project types, including standalone, co-located, and behind-the-meter projects. Standalone energy storage projects are increasingly utility-scale installations.

Which energy storage technologies are being installed?

As is evident from our survey, a range of energy storage projects have been installed or are due to be deployed in the majority of jurisdictions; and whilst battery technologies are receiving the bulk of industry attention at present, a range of technologies have been, and are due to be, installed, pumped hydro storage in particular.

What is energy storage?

Energy storage encompasses an array of technologies that enable energy produced at one time, such as during daylight or windy hours, to be stored for later use. LPO can finance commercially ready projects across storage technologies, including flywheels, mechanical technologies, electrochemical technologies, thermal storage, and chemical storage.

Does energy storage need a regulatory framework?

Our review demonstrates that no jurisdiction currently provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for energy storage, with the majority of jurisdictions currently allowing storage to be defined as “generation” for the purposes of licensing and other regulatory requirements.
