PROJECT INFORMATION
The proposed energy storage facility would comprise up to fifty battery storage units housed within steel containers along with ancillary structures. It is envisaged that the battery units would be based on 40ft steel sea containers.
​
The proposed energy storage facility would provide rapid-response electrical back-up to the National Grid and would represent an early deployment within the UK of a high-tech grid balancing facility, of a type which is already seeing significant deployment in the USA and other parts of the world.
