EP.258 Ben Guest on Batteries, Flexibility and the Future of the UK Grid

This week on Energy Unplugged, we’re delighted to welcome Ben Guest, Managing Director and Head of Gresham House Energy Transition, as well as Fund Manager of the Gresham House Energy Storage Fund. He joins Caroline Still, Principal in our Oxford Advisory team, to discuss the role of storage and flexibility in enabling the UK’s energy transition.

Ben has over two decades of experience in the energy sector and leads the UK’s largest utility-scale battery storage fund. He has overseen the deployment of over 800 MW of operational battery projects, with a pipeline of more than 2 GW under development.

Main topics include:

  • Why storage is central to decarbonisation and balancing renewable intermittency
  • The role of batteries in addressing grid bottlenecks and deferring costly reinforcements
  • Long-duration storage, Dunkelflaute, and how policy must evolve to incentivise optimal system performance
