Each summary covers the sector’s development and the legal and regulatory environment to consider in the deployment of energy storage projects.
As set out above, there are a wide variety of energy storage technologies and applications available. As a result there are a number of legal issues to consider, although the relative importance of such issues will be informed by the specific energy storage project design. revenue stream requirements e.g. double circuit connection.
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.
There is a need to establish an appropriate legal framework particularly in light of the number of new initiatives coming forwards. For example, EDF has presented a major electrical storage plan with the objective of becoming the European leader in the sector by 2035.
It also ensures a tariff framework for storage that is non-discriminatory and cost-reflective. With these measures, the amended law removes regulatory barriers to the development of electricity storage in Poland. The reform entered into force in 2021. More information can be found on the webpage of the Ministry Climate and Environment here.
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.
