Calling for entries from companies and consortia interested in undertaking a study to identify the barriers to direct integration of storage and demand with offshore wind.

This project will develop descriptions of novel approaches to manage the connection and transmission constraints resulting from rapid deployment of offshore wind. It will assess the value of these novel approaches in the UK and German markets from an offshore wind developer’s perspective. It will then assess the policy, regulatory, and technical rules relevant to these scenarios to identify barriers to the deployment of the novel approaches. It will make recommendations on the next steps to overcome barriers and identify who needs to deliver these actions.  

The overall objective of the project is to determine the realities and practicalities of integration of storage and demand from the offshore windfarm perspective, and to use these findings to inform wider policymakers and stakeholders on the barriers and realities of integration scenarios.

The deadline for clarification questions has passed. Responses to the clarification questions are included below.
