Great news Highview Power. Increasing the storage capacity on the UK grid is a vital part of the transition to a renewable future. The introduction of a cap and floor model is forward thinking. It will support the development of new and exciting technologies such as Liquid Air Energy Storage, but could equally be applied to other energy storage technologies too - helping to add resilience and ensure that we maximise the use of every green electron generated.
