EDF Renewables UK is set to introduce over 300MW of battery storage to the UK’s energy grid within the next 12 months.
The company is working on six projects, including installations in Braintree, Essex and Indian Queens Saint Austell, as well as recently energised facilities in Sundon and approvals for a site in Dorset.
The new battery storage will provide enough power for more than 400,000 homes for two hours.
Simone Sullivan, Head of Storage at EDF Renewables UK said: “Our upcoming project pipeline will strengthen the UK’s capacity to integrate more renewables and will allow the grid to be more flexible and resilient by managing electricity supply and demand.
“Battery storage is critical to enhancing our energy security and to achieving the new government’s 2030 targets.”
