Asked by: Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 28th July 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to stimulate private investment in support of the expansion of UK onshore and offshore gas storage infrastructure. Answered by Baroness Curran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) Underground gas storage plays an important role in supporting Britainâs energy security.
We recently consulted on whether any government action is needed to maintain gas security of supply across the energy transition, including possible measures to support current and potential new UK gas storage operators.
The government will publish its response to the Gas Security in Transition consultation in due course. |

Energy: Storage
Asked by: Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 28th July 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to stimulate private investment in support of expansion of UK long duration energy storage infrastructure. Answered by Baroness Curran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The government is supporting private investment in long duration electricity storage (LDES) through the LDES cap and floor policy, which is being delivered by Ofgem. This will deliver the first LDES projects in Great Britain for over four decades.
On 26 June 2026, Ofgem published minded-to decisions for the first LDES application window, supporting 16 projects totalling 7.6GW of power and 137GWh of storage capacity.
The governmentâs Clean Flexibility Roadmap Update of 13 July 2026 contains further details on steps to deliver LDES, as well as other forms of energy storage such as hydrogen storage and power. |
