The UK's largest battery energy storage system has gone live in North Yorkshire. Lakeside Energy Park is a 100MW facility in Drax, near Selby, which can provide power to about 30,000 homes a day across England and Wales.
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.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are used to store energy from renewables, like solar and wind, and then release it when the power is needed most. Mark Selvaratnam, project manager of Lakeside Energy Park, said the facility would have a "significant impact" on the country’s clean energy transition.
Pacific Green’s Richborough Energy Park battery project, for example, occupies less than four acres for 100 MW of storage capacity. This compares to between 500 and 1,000 acres for a 100 MW solar plant and between 200 and 4,000 acres for a wind farm with the same capacity.
UK solar and battery developer Renewable Connections and project partner European Energy UKsold two co-located solar and battery storage projects based in Scotland – one at Strathruddie Farm and one at Montreathmont Moor – with an aggregate combined capacity of 121MWdc (67MWac) in April last year.
In May last year, it sold two battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in southern England to Foresight Energy Infrastructure Partners: Sundon BESS, a 49.5MW project north of London that will connect with National Grid’s Energy Park initiative; and Warley BESS, a 57MW project in Essex. Both sites have grid connection dates in 2024.
