Ultra Long Duration Energy Storage Project Development Studies

About this program

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), will invest up to £3 million from the UKRI R&D Missions Accelerator Programme in this competition. This is to support the delivery of electrochemical ultra long duration energy storage (ULDES) project development studies in Phase 1. This is subject to a sufficient number of high quality applications being received. The aim of this competition is to support the development, scale-up, and UK manufacture of electrochemical ULDES technologies. These ULDES technologies must be capable of delivering cost effective electrical power to the UK’s electricity grid with a discharge availability of at least 100 continuous hours. They must also achieve a working life of at least 25 years.
