Electrical storage and electric mobility | Joe Perkins (Ofgem)

On the sidelines of the Florence School of Regulation Young Researcher’s Seminar, Pradyumna Bhagwat (FSR) and Joe Perkins (OFGEM) discuss the topics of electrical storage and electric mobility. Batteries can be expected to play a key role in providing balancing services. The trickier question is about “time-shifting”: whether batteries will provide intraday time shifting or even over a longer period. Furthermore, batteries could play a part in providing flexibility in a changing energy system. In the context of Electric Vehicles, it is vital that we have the right networks to support EVs. The question is about getting to the most efficient solution at least possible cost. National regulatory commission in the UK is looking at pathways for supporting Electric Vehicles.
