Atlantic Green project manager Sam Currie said: "The battery energy storage market in the UK and globally is growing. "We've also got sites cropping up where you have got a core location. So you will have wind farms or solar farms for example and there will be a battery farm put alongside them to store the green energy that is produced."
UK innovation has been at the heart of the battery transition and is leading the way in next generation battery technologies. The lithium-ion battery was invented in Oxford and, just last year, Rolls Royce’s battery-powered plane, Spirit of Aviation, was crowned the world’s fastest ever electric vehicle.
Amid fluctuating energy costs, an increasing number of UK households are embracing domestic battery energy storage systems (BESS) like the Tesla Powerwall to maximise savings during off-peak hours. These high-tech, smart-controlled batteries are programmable to charge overnight when the grid is abundant with cheaper, renewable energy.
It also energised a 52MW battery in Bedfordshire in July, as well as Dorset Council last week approving planning for a 47.5MW battery near Mannington. As of June 2024, the UK’s operational battery storage capacity was 4.6GW, so the new projects represent a roughly 7% increase nationwide.
Owned and operated by TagEnergy – with Tesla, Habitat Energy and RES as project partners – the newly-connected battery will help exploit the clean electricity potential of renewable projects in the region, storing and releasing green energy to power homes and businesses and also helping to relieve any system constraints.
The UK is one of the world’s most active markets for battery energy storage. In 2022, a record of 800MWh of new storage capacity was added, taking the operational energy storage capacity to between 2.4GWh and 2.6GWh, spread across more than 160 sites.
