This UKOG /National Gas will cut dependency on wind etc
My hon. Friend is absolutely right about making Britain a clean energy superpower. We are committing £2.3 billion to support hydrogen projects, and I recognise the huge potential of South Dorset to become home to a storage hub. We are ensuring that public and private investment work together, which is exactly what the Crown Estate Act 2025 does, unlocking significant investment, boosting offshore wind and kickstarting economic growth.”
UKEn will build the UK's largest Hydrogen storage sites, with up to 2 billion cubic metres capacity providing up to 20% of the UK’s predicted hydrogen storage needs in 2035, doubling the UK’s existing underground storage. It will also include a system level hydrogen battery to store excess renewable power for later peak power demand use.
Why UKEn?
UK Energy Storage (UKEn) is a pioneering energy developer with a bold vision to deliver nationally significant salt cavern hydrogen storage projects in South Dorset and East Yorkshire.
We’re set to be in the vanguard of this vital sector, projected by National Grid and The Royal Society to grow substantively from nearly zero today to 50-100 TWh demand by 2050.
Harnessing excess clean renewable power, converting it into green hydrogen and storing for future use to generate electricity when the wind doesn’t blow, or the sun doesn’t shine, or demand outstrips supply, is crucial for the UK’s Clean Power system, addressing the inherent intermittency of wind and solar.
It will remove the current necessity of using natural gas to fill the intermittency gap. This will also help slash the UK’s current £1billion annual spend on wind turbine curtailment.
