	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2015 answer text <p>The Department recognises the potential for storage to help us use energy more flexibly and decarbonise our energy system cost effectively, alongside interconnection and demand-side response (DSR). As such, DECC is investigating the potential barriers to the deployment of energy storage. We are carefully considering possible mitigating actions, focussing in the first instance on removing regulatory barriers to energy storage. The re-classification of energy storage is one of the options we are considering. We plan to conduct a consultation and call for evidence in due course.</p><br /> <br /> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 23/11/2015 15:14:43 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
