Abstract

There is increasing interest in the role that distributed energy (electricity and heat) storage (DES) might play in helping meet the challenges facing city energy systems. In this paper we will consider the role of consumers in the potential uptake of household and community-scale battery storage. The research uses a mixed methods approach combining literature reviews, focus groups, a survey and semi-structured interviews. The results show how the likely adoption of battery storage is dependent upon a complex interplay between the perceptions of consumers, the institutions involved in DES deployment, the business models that are available and the broader regulatory environment.
