Ultra long duration energy storage project development studies
Fund the study that gets a 100-hour battery demonstrator ready to build.
Innovate UK is sharing £3 million across project development studies for electrochemical ultra long duration energy storage. The technology has to deliver power to the UK grid for at least 100 continuous hours and last at least 25 years.
This is phase one of two. Phase one funds the study; phase two funds the demonstration itself, under a separate competition planned for mid-2027. You do not have…
In scope: electrochemical ultra long duration energy storage that can deliver at least 100 continuous hours of discharge and work for at least 25 years, supporting a planned UK demonstration by 2030. Innovate UK takes a technology-neutral approach inside those boundaries. Your project must fit one of two streams and show your team can carry the work from study through demonstration to deployment.
