Project Overview

The Proposed Development is designed to reinforce the National Grid by providing instantaneous energy balancing services. This is achieved by storing energy produced when demand is low or there is an over-supply, which can be distributed when demand increases.

A significant increase in renewable energy generation is supported by national and local planning policy and relevant material considerations, such as the UK Governments 2050 ‘net zero’ target, which will require a rapid and expanded deployment of zero and low-carbon electricity generation, supported by energy storage, if climate change is to be tackled within our lifetimes.
