Ellough battery storage is a 200kW battery energy storage project located on agricultural land at Roadside verge at the junction of the A145 and Ellough Road, near Beccles, Suffolk; north of Beccles Business Park, Ellough Industrial Estate and Moor Business Park.The planning documents describe the l...

Grid-scale lithium iron phosphate battery degradation is driven by both cycle ageing and calendar ageing. Recent assessments of fourteen-year-old cells from early commercial projects demonstrate exceptional longevity, retaining significant capacity. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for proj...

Recent evaluations of grid-scale lithium iron phosphate battery systems reveal exceptional long-term durability and minimal capacity fade. Real-world operational data from large-scale storage facilities demonstrates that these cells retain the vast majority of their original energy capacity after mo...

The United Kingdom battery energy storage market is shifting towards contracted revenue structures to mitigate falling merchant incomes. Developers are increasingly securing long-term revenue floor agreements and optimisation contracts, with the UK now concentrating a third of Europe's contracted ba...

The United Kingdom battery energy storage market is experiencing significant financial growth during 2026, driven by wider daily electricity price spreads and a shift towards contracted revenues. Operators are capitalising on volatile wholesale power prices while investors increasingly rely on tolli...

The UK government and regulator Ofgem are implementing major reforms to the battery energy storage grid connection queue in 2026. These measures include introducing a new financial commitment fee to clear speculative projects and expanding self-build connections to accelerate network infrastructure...

Recent laboratory analysis by CATL reveals that lithium iron phosphate cells from the Zhangbei energy storage facility retained approximately 85 percent of their original capacity after nearly fourteen years of continuous operation. The findings highlight the exceptional durability of this chemistry...

Recent analyses of grid-scale lithium iron phosphate systems reveal extraordinary longevity and minimal degradation. Data from a historic fourteen-year storage project demonstrates that cells can retain up to eighty-five percent of their original capacity. These findings highlight the suitability of...

The United Kingdom accounts for 33% of contracted battery capacity in Europe, reflecting a shift towards predictable revenue models. While Great Britain relies heavily on merchant risk through energy arbitrage and ancillary services, securing contracted revenues and tolling agreements remains essent...

Recent post-mortem analysis of lithium iron phosphate cells from a pioneering Chinese grid-scale energy storage facility reveals exceptional longevity. After nearly fourteen years of continuous daily cycling, the batteries retained approximately eighty-five percent of their original capacity, demons...
