SSE’s first battery energy storage system (BESS) project at Salisbury in Wiltshire, England is now fully operational. The 50MW / 100MWh BESS project, which could power over 80,000 homes* for two hours at times of peak demand, is the first operational battery site in SSE’s portfolio.
National Grid plugs TagEnergy’s 100MW battery project in at its Drax substation. Following energisation, the facility in North Yorkshire is the UK’s largest transmission connected battery energy storage system (BESS). The facility is supporting Britain’s clean energy transition, and helping to ensure secure operation of the electricity system.
The four longer-duration energy storage demonstration projects will help to achieve the UK’s plan for net zero by balancing the intermittency of renewable energy, creating more options for sustainable, low-cost energy storage in the UK.
In addition to Salisbury, SSE Renewables is currently constructing a 150MW battery project in Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire, which is due to complete in the first half of next year, and a 320MW battery project in Monk Fryston, North Yorkshire, which will be able to deliver flexible energy at scale once completed in up to two years’ time.
This was published under the 2022 to 2024 Sunak Conservative government Over £32 million government funding has been awarded to UK projects developing cutting-edge innovative energy storage technologies that can help increase the resilience of the UK’s electricity grid while also maximising value for money.
However, new energy storage technologies can store excess energy to be used at a later point, so the energy can be used rather than wasted – meaning we can rely even more on renewable generation rather than fossil fuels, helping boost the UK’s long-term energy resilience.
