Recommendation 5

Paragraph: 44
Long-term low carbon energy storage development faces significant market and policy barriers.
Conclusion
While short-term energy storage has some market drivers, the development of long-term, inter-seasonal storage at the scale expected to be required faces market, policy and regulatory barriers. The UK economy will require a significant level of low carbon energy storage of this type in order to achieve the Government’s net zero energy goals while maintaining energy security and avoiding energy shortfalls.
