Also, NESO just switched the queue for grid connection applications from "First Come, First Served" to "First Ready, First Connected" because the backlog is so long for DNOs (Distribution Network Operators) that there's a lot of zombied projects that rushed to get the application without planning permission or funding because the wait is so long.

Hopefully this coupled with additional funding and planning reform will be enough to get the extra transmission capacity that is so desperately needed, even for energy storage sites.
