Solar Power: Buckinghamshire

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of the resilience of energy storage infrastructure co-located with solar energy developments in Buckinghamshire.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Department has made no specific assessment on this. We have outlined our plans for the deployment of battery storage in the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan and will work with industry, NESO and Ofgem to build on those actions through the Low Carbon Flexibility Roadmap announced in the Clean Power Action Plan. This will include actions to enable the deployment of batteries, on their own and co-located with generation.
