The Interoperable Demand Side Response (IDSR) Stream 2 seeks to support the development and demonstration of energy smart appliances to deliver interoperable demand side response via the GB smart metering system. Participant organisations: Project grant value: £1,293,279 Project summary
The Energy Storage Demonstration and Pilot Grant Program is designed to enter into agreements to carry out 3 energy storage system demonstration projects. Technology Developers, Industry, State and Local Governments, Tribal Organizations, Community Based Organizations, National Laboratories, Universities, and Utilities.
This project demonstrates controllable, flexible demand in real domestic environments, with the potential to reproduce such an approach at significant scale, via replication through the UK’s widespread existing Community Energy sector.
All the details of this competition are available on the Non-Domestic Smart Energy Management Innovation Competition page. The government has committed up to £9.78 million from 2018 to 2021 to support innovative domestic applications of Demand Side Response (DSR) technologies and business models.
From a technology implementation point of view, the project will consider using a low-cost SMETS Prepayment Interface Device (PPMID) as the home energy management system, leveraging the existing investment in the GB smart metering system and providing a viable and low-cost route to mass deployment of secure ESAs.
PDF, 176 KB, 3 pages BEIS will fund the selected UK-based demonstration projects and the Canadian government will fund the demonstration projects located in Canada. Project teams applying for support for demonstration projects must involve organisations from both the UK and Canada.

KEY CHALLENGE: The mining of raw materials for battery production (such as lithium, cobalt and graphite) has significant environmental and social impacts, such as poor working conditions and health impacts from the pollution. [pdf]

The increase in battery demand drives the demand for critical materials. In 2022, lithium demand exceeded supply (as in 2021) despite the 180% increase in production since 2017. In 2022, about 60% of lithium, 30% of cobalt and 10% of nickel demand was for EV batteries. Just five years earlier, in 2017, these. . In 2022, lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) remained the dominant battery chemistry with a market share of 60%, followed by lithium iron phosphate (LFP) with a share of just. . With regards to anodes, a number of chemistry changes have the potential to improve energy density (watt-hour per kilogram, or Wh/kg). For example, silicon can be used to replace all or some of the graphite in the anode in order to make it lighter and thus increase. [pdf]
This strategy represents a whole of government effort, developed with business. The government’s 2030 vision is for the UK to have a globally competitive battery supply chain that supports economic prosperity and the net zero transition.
Some dramatically different approaches to EV batteries could see progress in 2023, though they will likely take longer to make a commercial impact. One advance to keep an eye on this year is in so-called solid-state batteries.
11 new battery energy storage sites (>7 MW), with a total capacity of 413 MW, came online in Q2 of 2023. This means that the average size of new batteries was 38 MW - but the median was just 24 MW. Essentially, one particularly large site skewed this average:
In China, battery demand for vehicles grew over 70%, while electric car sales increased by 80% in 2022 relative to 2021, with growth in battery demand slightly tempered by an increasing share of PHEVs. Battery demand for vehicles in the United States grew by around 80%, despite electric car sales only increasing by around 55% in 2022.
Other solid-state-battery players, like Solid Power, are also working to build and test their batteries. But while they could reach major milestones this year as well, their batteries won’t make it into vehicles on the road in 2023.
Automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 GWh in 2022, from about 330 GWh in 2021, primarily as a result of growth in electric passenger car sales, with new registrations increasing by 55% in 2022 relative to 2021.
