Cumulative installed energy storage capacity operating in the UK now stands at more than 3.2GW, according to new figures released by the Renewable Energy Association (REA).

The government should now incentivise storage to improve the technology's economics, according to the committee's "The Energy Revolution and Future Challenges for UK Energy and Climate Change Policy" report.
It is the last report from the committee, following the government reshuffle in July, which merged the business and energy departments. Each UK government ministerial departments has a watchdog of MPs to oversee activities.

The committee formed to oversee the business department prior to the reshuffle was renamed the business, energy and industrial strategy committee on 11 October to reflect the change.
