While battery storage facilitates the integration of intermittent renewables like solar and wind by providing grid stabilization and energy storage capabilities, its environmental benefits may be compromised by factors such as energy-intensive manufacturing processes and. The integration of battery storage systems in renewable energy infrastructure has garnered significant attention due to its potential to enhance energy reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. However, alongside these benefits, concerns persist regarding the safety and environmental impacts. As evidenced by HM Government's (2020) Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, the generation of electricity from renewables will be key part of achieving net zero. However, electricity generation from renewable sources such as wind can be unpredictable. Use of energy storage may also contribute to grid infrastruc-ture investment deferral through mitigation of congestion and improvements to power quality. Specifically, Title XVII identifies the projects as those that “avoid, reduce, or sequester air pollutants or anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases; and employ new or significantly improved technologies as compared to commercial. They store excess energy generated during sunny or windy days and release it when the sun's not shining or the wind's not blowing. Without them, we'd still be relying heavily on fossil fuels like coal, which, let's face it, is a major contributor to climate change.
