UK storage support scheme could cut battery project returns by up to 2.7 points

UK storage support scheme could cut battery project returns by up to 2.7 points

LCP Delta estimates the UK long-duration storage cap-and-floor could cut battery project returns by 2.7 percentage points against a no-new-storage baseline, Energy-Storage.news reported. Against its central scenario, the hit is only 0.5 points. Italy's MACSE round two on 24 November and Germany's 23GWh residential VPP rules show the same pattern: policy design sets storage returns.

  • 01The question for any UK battery revenue case is now which baseline it assumed: LCP Delta's estimated hit ranges from 0.5 to 2.7 IRR points depending on whether significant long-duration storage was already modelled.
  • 02Germany's new virtual power plant rules turn its residential battery base into what Energy-Storage.news describes as a 23GWh grid asset, and the outlet says the distinction between residential and grid-scale storage is now less obvious.

DNV expects half of new solar plants to include batteries by the mid-2030s

DNV expects half of new solar plants to include batteries by the mid-2030s

DNV forecasts about half of new solar installations will include battery storage by the mid-2030s, up from roughly 6.6% today. Its GreenPowerMonitor unit is expanding hybrid energy management software to match. For solar operators, controls and cybersecurity now sit on the critical path.

  • 01DNV puts today's solar-plus-storage attach rate at roughly 6.6%; its forecast of about half by the mid-2030s puts the shift inside the operating life of plants being commissioned now.
  • 02An energy management system spec can now be tested against concrete numbers: 400-plus supported protocols and IEC 62443 and ISO 27001 certification are reference points DNV’s GPM puts on the table, with DNV also pointing to NIS2 as an example of the cybersecurity requirements the industry faces.
  • 03Masdar's 5.2GW solar and 19GWh battery plant in the UAE, due to complete in 2027, is built to deliver 1GW of clean energy to the grid round the clock, according to Energy Storage News.

Bestway Cement now gets over a quarter of its plant power from solar

Bestway Cement now gets over a quarter of its plant power from solar

Bestway Cement's Chakwal plant in Pakistan now gets over a quarter of its electricity from 26 MW of solar and is adding 6.34 MW by year end, the Financial Times reports. Its general manager calls solar the only way to compete. Global solar capacity reached almost 1.2 TW at end-2025, per the Energy Institute. The case shows what solar can cover at one cement plant.

  • 01A cement plant producing over 3 million tonnes a year is covering more than a quarter of its electricity with 26 MW of its own solar, a rare public benchmark for self-generation in heavy industry.
  • 02Bestway's general manager frames solar as a competitive necessity because rivals have already gone in this direction, which shifts the question for energy-intensive plants from whether solar pays back to what a competitor's power bill looks like.
  • 03Global solar capacity of almost 1.2 TW is roughly three times the nuclear fleet on paper, but sunlight availability means output is a fraction of nameplate, so capacity numbers overstate delivered energy.
