Will a UK battery energy storage project come online next year?
One of UK’s largest battery energy storage projects has changed hands and will come online next year as part of a low carbon energy park in Greater Manchester. UK-based developer Statera Energy has acquired a 680 MW/1360 MWh battery energy storage project in Greater Manchester from Carlton Power.
How will a £750 million battery energy storage scheme work?
The £750 million battery energy storage scheme (BESS) will strengthen the ‘security and resilience of the energy system’ in the North West of England, said the firm. It will also support the growth of renewable power generation in the region, it added. Construction is expected to begin in Q1 2024, subject to a final investment decision.
Who owns Carlton power's 'Carrington storage' project in Greater Manchester?
UK-based developer Statera Energy has acquired a 680 MW/1360 MWh battery energy storage project in Greater Manchester from Carlton Power. Located at Trafford Low Carbon Energy Park, Carrington Storage is expected to become one of the largest of its kind in Europe once fully energised in 2026.
Will Carlton power build a 1GW battery energy storage scheme in Manchester?
Carlton Power secures planning permission for a 1GW battery energy storage scheme in Manchester, aiming for commercial operation in 2025. The project will strengthen regional energy security and surpass the current largest BESS in the world.
