This phenomenon is called Nue Ardant, or cloud of fire. The hot ash and convention currents create friction between the particles which causes the lightning, as well as hot ash glowing in the pyroclastic cloud itself. It is a common occurrence around volcanoes with large amounts of pyroclastic flows.

Static discharge occurs during volcanic eruptions already. This is part of the natural process, and is not erupting during a storm per-se. Or at least all of this lightning is not occurring due to the storm.
