Three new UK battery energy storage systems (BESS) and a 150 MW capacity solar farm have won government approval. The Scottish government has given Kona Energy the green light for the construction and operation of the Smeaton battery energy storage system (BESS), a 228 MW/456 MWh project near Dalkeith, East Lothian.
Jonathon Hill News reporter and Nicholas Thomas, Local Democracy Reporter There are plans for a disused old power station in Wales to become one of the UK's leading battery energy storage plants. The former Uskmouth B coal-fired power station in Newport which is near the village of Nash had been mothballed after operating for around 50 years.
Overall though, the breakdown of the battery storage pipeline in the UK indicates a position of growth, with a large proportion of the pipeline capacity in early development, in planning and consented stages.
The battery storage projects in the UK are helping the country meet rising energy demands, integrate renewable sources, and move closer to its Clean Power 2030 goals. The UK's battery storage sector continues to grow year after year, backed by a robust pipeline of projects and strong planning activity.
