The global shift toward electrification is driving a race to control the battery supply chain, reshaping economic power in the process. With demand for energy storage soaring, what's next for batteries—and how can businesses, policymakers, and investors. . decarbonized, and resilient future transportation and power sectors. . Battery storage capacity in the power sector is expanding rapidly. Over 40 gigawatt (GW) was added in 2023, double the previous year's increase, split between utility-scale projects (65%) and behind-the-meter systems (35%). This article explores the latest trends. .
The landmark Planning and Infrastructure Bill will be formally introduced to Parliament this week, laying the groundwork for a new approach to prioritise new transmission infrastructure which will unlock growth with £200 billion of investment and protect households from the. . The landmark Planning and Infrastructure Bill will be formally introduced to Parliament this week, laying the groundwork for a new approach to prioritise new transmission infrastructure which will unlock growth with £200 billion of investment and protect households from the. . Dozens of clean energy projects, including wind and solar power, will jump to the front of the queue for grid connections, as the government paves the way for a new era of clean electricity through the Plan for Change to achieve clean power by 2030. The landmark Planning and Infrastructure Bill. . (170km2) would be required to provide over 200TWh/year of energy. his includes turbine towers, roads, and associated infrastructure. 9% of English land is used for mining and quarrying. According to new data, wind and solar power combined generated more electricity than ever before, setting a fresh record for renewable energy output. This is a significant development for geographers because it shows how countries are changing how they generate energy to tackle climate change and reduce. . Britain's wind and solar resources are more than sufficient to meet all its energy needs, according to a policy briefing prepared by researchers at the University of Oxford.
