The purpose is to make clear recommendations on how to improve the prospects of electricity storage on the GB system though regulatory changes and cutting red tape.
The potential for electricity storage has grown dramatically in the past few years. Electricity storage can help:

- Manage increasing peak demand and the intermittency of renewables
- Meet renewables and emissions targets
- Extend aging infrastructure and stem increasing costs.
