英国选择了77个项目用于长期能源储存,将减少天然气使用和降低成本的能力提高到28.7千兆瓦。 UK selects 77 projects for long-term energy storage, boosting capacity to 28.7 GW to cut gas use and lower costs.

77个长期能源储存项目,包括电池、压缩空气和泵式水力系统,已进入联合王国政府支持的计划的最后阶段。 Seventy-seven long-duration energy storage projects, including batteries, compressed air, and pumped hydro systems, have advanced to the final stage of a UK government-backed scheme. 从171个申请者中挑选出来,共计28.7千兆瓦容量,旨在储存多余的风能和太阳能,供短缺时使用,减少对天然气厂的依赖和削减费用。 Selected from 171 applicants, they total 28.7 gigawatts of capacity and aim to store excess wind and solar power for use during shortages, reducing reliance on gas plants and curtailment costs. 该举措由Ofgem在“上限和底限”模式下管理,保证开发商获得最低回报,同时要求将超额利润返还消费者。 The initiative, managed by Ofgem under a “cap and floor” model, guarantees minimum returns to developers while requiring excess profits to be returned to consumers. 联合王国目前仅有2.8千兆瓦的长期储存量。 The UK currently has just 2.8 gigawatts of long-duration storage. 预计2026年夏季将作出最后筹资决定,因为官员们力求加强能源安全、降低成本和支持清洁能源增长。 Final funding decisions are expected in summer 2026, as officials seek to strengthen energy security, lower costs, and support clean energy growth.
