UK Grid Resilience Enhancement

planned

The article discusses the need to rethink and enhance the UK's electricity grid resilience to better absorb energy shocks caused by geopolitical events and supply disruptions. It emphasizes the integration of storage assets, flexible demand, and demand-side capacity to create a more active and managed grid system. The focus is on deploying grid-scale batteries, long-duration storage, and orchestrating distributed assets like heat pumps, EV chargers, and home batteries to provide a physical buffer and flexibility in demand response, thereby reducing price volatility and exposure to global LNG market fluctuations.
