Energy storage and electricity storage in particular is an area of utility development that has been on the radar now for a number of years, and on a journey that still has some distance to run. With pumped hydro as the single exception, it is probably fair to say that 20 years ago the use of storage as part of the electricity system in an operational distribution network operator (DNO) environment was probably not conceived in any shape or form, and even 10 years ago business as usual network deployment would have seemed like moons away.
