Flexibility and Storage Seminar: unlocking new revenue streams for renewable energy Programme

Co-location is a rapidly developing frontier with more and more developers looking to integrate storage technologies into their projects. As the quantity of renewables on the system increases and government support for the hydrogen sector begins to bear fruit, the value of onsite storage and the flexibility it enables is only set to grow.

In this session, the pioneers of co-located projects share their insights and discuss the new revenue streams onsite storage can open up for your project.

In this session you’ll learn:

• The opportunities and challenges facing developers of co-located projects
• How the different technologies for providing onsite flexibility compare
• The project benefits of diversifying revenue streams

As the deployment of renewable generation accelerates, the volume of low-carbon flexibility will need to keep pace to ensure the efficient operation of the electricity system and grid access for renewables.

The optimal mix of flexibility assets and the market arrangements required to bring it about are still contested. In this session, our panel of experts will offer their views on the opportunities and challenges for low-carbon flexibility providers as we progress towards net-zero.

In this session you’ll learn:

• The role of flexibility in renewable project viability
• What the future of flexibility looks like in a decarbonised electricity system
• What market reforms are necessary to incentivise investment in and operation of low-carbon flexibility
• Where the opportunities lie for businesses able to provide low-carbon flexibility services to the grid
