Andy McNeill | Senior Policy Consultant
Energy Storage Association (UK)

Andy has over 30 years of technical, commercial and leadership experience across energy transition and legacy hydrocarbon value chains. He currently operates as an independent commercial & business development consultant and most recently led development of the UK’s largest announced eSAF project, where his responsibilities included leading evidence-based advocacy towards local and national government.

A strong advocate for delivery of the UK’s Net Zero commitments, Andy has developed a particular interest in supporting the rollout of commercial-scale long duration energy storage and heat decarbonisation, both critical to building decarbonisation momentum through the second half of the decade. He is therefore pleased to have the opportunity to support the work of the Energy Storage Association and its growing membership.

Day 3 - 24th September @ 12:10

Panel Discussion: How can LDES unlock new market opportunities?

As the UK power system becomes increasingly reliant on renewable generation, long-duration energy storage (LDES) will have a growing role to play in balancing supply and demand. But where does the commercial opportunity lie?

This panel will explore how LDES can move beyond its role in system security to unlock new revenue streams and investment opportunities. Panellists will discuss emerging business models, the impact of the UK’s cap and floor mechanism, routes to market and the applications where long-duration technologies can deliver the greatest value.

Moderator: Kit Guest, CEO, Swanbarton Limited
