What approvals are required for energy storage projects

Essentially, the relaxation of the planning rules means that battery storage projects above 50MW in England, and 350MW in Wales can now go ahead without needing to be approved through the national planning regime. The planning regime previously treated storage projects as ‘energy generation’ where projects over.

6 FAQs about [What approvals are required for energy storage projects]

Will a 50MW battery storage project be able to come on line?

Planning law in the UK has been changed to allow energy storage projects over 50MW to come on line without going through the national planning process. This could pave the way for a major expansion of battery storage facilities across our towns and cities, to support green energy use in new builds and to balance our energy demand.

Should energy storage schemes get planning permission?

The change in the law should make it much easier for energy storage schemes to get planning permission, to attract funding more easily, and enable them to be built more quickly. The recent UK Battery Storage Project Database Report by suggested the UK has more than 13.5GW of battery storage projects in the pipeline.

What are the changes to planning legislation for energy storage projects?

The changes to planning legislation for larger energy storage projects were first announced back in October 2019 to allow planning applications to be determined without going through the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) process.

Can energy companies bypass the national planning process?

Energy companies and battery storage developers in the UK can now bypass the national planning process when developing large scale energy storage projects, thanks to a recent change in the law.

How long does it take to plan an electricity storage project?

It means that most electricity storage projects, with the exception of pumped hydro schemes, can be determined through the Town and Country Planning Act, by local planning authorities. In effect this means that planning applications for projects over 50MW should, theoretically, be decided in between eight and 13 weeks depending on their size.

Should solar panels be included in a housing development spec?

As we convert to electric vehicles and need to power our homes with greener energy, housing developments may have to incorporate solar panels or roof tiles and wall battery storage solutions as part of the development spec.
