uin	HL9731
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2020 answer text <p>A number of methods can be used to transfer energy from battery storage facilities to transmission and distribution systems. The choice of which method to use (undergrounding or overgrounding) depends on a range of factors, including technical assessments, environmental impacts and costs.</p><p> </p><p>Battery storage is often connected at the distribution network rather than national grid transmission level, and as it is often located close to existing grid supply points requirements for additional pylons are reduced. Any proposals for the use of pylons will be subject to careful consideration through the planning regime, taking account of the views of local people and other relevant stakeholders.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 11/11/2020 16:31:38 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

They can provide services at both local (community) and national levels.</p><p> </p><p>Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) also operate local markets for flexibility services.
