As the UK takes bold steps toward its target of a fully decarbonised power system by 2030, battery storage stands at the heart of this ambitious transformation. Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion at Imperial College London, where leading experts and policymakers will delve into the critical role of batteries in enabling a resilient, renewable energy future.
The UK Government’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan outlines the urgency of expanding battery storage capacity to 27 GW by the end of the decade. At this pivotal juncture, Imperial College is convening innovators, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss how we can collectively overcome the challenges to deliver on this target.
