Energy storage is essential to the UK’s future goals
At the moment the UK has no discernible incentive to develop an effective energy storage infrastructure, but experts are warning that they’re going to need one soon if they are to reach emission reduction targets and ‘cleaning’ its electricity supply. Without a viable energy storage system, it’s unlikely that we’ll hit our current target of 20 Gigawatts of solar generation by 2020. Many households are utilising solar, and taking advantage of more energy efficient electric heating solutions, but why is energy storage on a national scale so important?
