InterGen, which currently supplies around 5% of the UK’s power generating capacity, has been granted consent by the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy for a battery energy storage project as part of their Gateway Energy Centre development on the banks of the river Thames in Essex.
The new National Battery Manufacturing Development facility will be a national asset and the first of its kind open to all UK-located organisations. It will enable them to develop manufacturing processes for their concept-ready battery technologies at production rates appropriate to ‘giga’ factories.
Battery manufacturing, as well as related upstream and downstream activities, is energy intensive and necessitates large power connections.
What’s in the UK’s new battery strategy and advanced manufacturing plan? The Department for Business and Trade launched the UK’s highly-anticipated Battery Strategy over the weekend, setting out a vision to grow supply chains and manufacturing capacity for batteries big and small this decade.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS): Within the context of this document, this is taken to mean the products or equipment as placed on the market and will generally include the integrated batteries, power conversion and control.

The battery energy storage systems industry has witnessed a higher inflow of investments in the last few years and is expected to continue this trend in the future. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), investments in energy storage exceeded USD 20 billion in 2022.
To generate revenue from battery energy storage systems in Europe, companies need to be strategic and take advantage of different markets and services. Capacity markets, for example, offer a stable source of income: payment is made for the provision of reserve capacity.
China is investing heavily in battery energy storage systems (BESS), targeting 100 GW energy storage capacity by 2030. The 14th FYP set the tone to support all types of BESS, including novel lithium-ion, sodium-ion, lead-carbon, and redox flow.
This imbalance often results in grid instability and compromises power quality. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) store excess renewable energy and discharge the stored energy when it is needed. By mitigating renewable energy fluctuations, BESS can enhance the integration of renewable energy into the grid.
The lithium-ion battery segment is projected to lead the industry and is anticipated to hold a significant market share during the forecast period. Increasing deployment of new large-capacity grid infrastructure, along with continuous technological advancements in Li-ion BESS products, will drive the segment growth.
Recently, in January 2024, the company unveiled plans for ten grid-scale battery storage projects lined up for 2024. Additionally, Samsung SDI, Total, Hitachi, and GE are among the leading players delivering numerous types of advanced energy storage battery systems and solutions.

Global demand for Li-ion batteries is expected to soar over the next decade, with the number of GWh required increasing from about 700 GWh in 2022 to around 4.7 TWh by 2030 (Exhibit 1). Batteries for mobility applications, such as electric vehicles (EVs), will account for the vast bulk of demand in 2030—about 4,300 GWh; an. . The global battery value chain, like others within industrial manufacturing, faces significant environmental, social, and governance (ESG). . Some recent advances in battery technologies include increased cell energy density, new active material chemistries such as solid-state. . Battery manufacturers may find new opportunities in recycling as the market matures. Companies could create a closed-loop, domestic supply chain that involves the collection, recycling, reuse, or repair of used Li-ion. . The 2030 Outlook for the battery value chain depends on three interdependent elements (Exhibit 12): 1. Supply-chain resilience. A resilient battery value chain is one that is regionalized. [pdf]
