LONDON: The UK government is to change legislation to make it easier to construct large batteries to store renewable energy from solar and wind farms in Britain, it said on Tuesday.

Secondary legislation will remove barriers for storage projects above 50 megawatt in England and 350 megawatt in Wales, allowing more clean energy to be stored and used all-year round."Removing barriers for energy storage projects, which are discouraging bolder investment decisions in larger battery facilities, could treble the number of batteries serving the electricity grid," the government said in a statement on its website.

There is 1 gigawatt of battery storage in operation in Britain, with 4 gigawatt of storage projects in planning.
