It was a whirlwind in Westminster for a few months. The Labor Government has raised some important decisions to achieve its clean power mission – of conclusions about the assessment of electricity market schemes (REMA) and the introduction of reformed planning legislation. For those of us in energy policy, it has been a period of intense focus and momentum.A lot of emphasis has been placed on the upcoming AR7 auction, but the conversation cannot stop when building more renewable energy sources. Real energy security means thinking that goes beyond generating – and that is where battery energy storage systems (BESS)…

The Eastern Green Link 3 (EGL3) project, a joint venture between National Grid Electricity Transmission and Ssen Transmission, has mentioned Hitachi Energy as the preferred bidder for its high -voltage directorage (HVDC) converter stations.The £ 2 billion project (US $ 2.7 billion) has been set to deliver 2 GW of clean electricity via a 680 km of submarine and underground cable route that connects Aberdenshire, Scotland, with West Norfolk, England.EGL3 has been designed to tackle the limitations of grid capacity and the need for greater energy breach in the energy infrastructure of the UK.
