How will energy storage change everything for the UK’s energy future and what impact could it have for policy?
In this episode, we explore how energy storage will transform the UK energy sector and beyond. Host Alex Wolfe speaks with Baroness Luciana Berger, Chair of the newly founded Energy Storage Association. She shares her vision for the industry and lessons from Britishvolt’s collapse and how the UK can work with China and other storage leaders without repeating Germany’s mistakes on energy dependency. This discussion also covers policy priorities for the new UK Government, technologies beyond lithium-ion, and how storage will shape energy security, affordability, and decarbonisation.
