Paragraph: 46
Address urgent barriers to long-term energy storage through government investment and policy reforms.
Recommendation
The Government must address as a matter of urgency the barriers to long term energy storage for the UK to ensure it can provide its citizens with clean and reliable energy during periods of limited renewable generation. This can be delivered through direct Government intervention and investment in infrastructure, as well as through regulatory and policy reforms, such as cap and floor mechanisms or a reformed capacity mechanism, that signal to the market the value of long-term energy storage.
