RES to construct UK mega-battery

• 99.9 MW Lakeside power storage project in north Yorkshire is set to be totally functional by late 2023

RES has actually received consent to construct a 100MW energy storage space project in Yorkshire, north England.

The 99.9 MW Shore power storage space project in north Yorkshire elevates RES' UK storage portfolio to 420MW.

The project will be situated in the Selby area as well as has approval for 51 power storage space containers and 42 transformers.

Construction is expected to start in late 2022, and also the site is readied to be completely operational by late 2023.

The utility-grade batteries will save electrical power from the national grid sometimes of low demand as well as high renewables generation, with the stored energy exported back to the grid at times of high demand and lower renewable electrical power generation.

Once completed, Shore will end up being the biggest energy storage space project within RES' portfolio.

RES power storage space head Alan McMahon said: "At RES we're committed to guaranteeing that everyone has accessibility to budget-friendly absolutely no carbon power and power storage is an incredible method to make use of more renewable power regularly.

" Increasing power storage capacity permits us to safely maximise the able to be used result from renewables as well as is a crucial part of the facilities called for to power the energy shift and fulfill the UK's environment goals."

Strategies are in location to make certain the area in North Yorkshire advantages, consisting of a biodiversity project which will surpass the Government's wanted 10% biodiversity web gain requirement.

An overall of 3.10 hectares of land is proposed for differing types of environment development. To help ensure the land's nationwide biodiversity is protected, scrub environments will be created in other places on the site to offer landscape screening, neutral grassland as well as lasting city drain attributes.
