Dr. Liam Ryan:

In Shaping our Electricity Future, we call out the need for approximately 2.8 GW of six- to eight-hour duration battery storage on the system. That is the technology currently available that we see could potentially be put on the system. Newer technologies may become available. We are engaging with the manufacturers to see what other technology could come on board. To the Deputy's point, the challenge developers have is that there is some resistance around storage. A key part around it is making sure there is early engagement, the facts are made clear to communities, and there is a clear understanding with respect to the benefits storage is bringing onto the system.
