Smarter Connections for a Storage-Ready Grid

Synopsis

• How operators are upgrading connection processes to bring storage into the queue more quickly and transparently
• New technical standards and operating practices that allow more storage to connect without compromising system stability
• Approaches to dynamic hosting capacity, flexible connections, and real-time visibility that unlock more grid headroom
• Investment priorities for reinforcing substations, interconnection corridors, and control systems suited to fast-acting assets
• Joint planning with developers to align timelines, optimise siting, and ensure storage supports congestion relief and reliability
