Driffield Solar and Storage Limited is building a 48 MWp solar farm that is co-located with a 28 MW/28 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on land north of Skerne, Driffield, in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The solar farm will produce enough electricity to power approximately 12,000 households per year*. Incorporating BESS facilities with Solar PV is a significant upgrade to regular solar farms. The BESS can absorb excess electricity from the solar farm and then release it when the national grid requires power. BESS facilities are essential to achieve the UK's goal of net-zero carbon by 2050 and ensure homes and businesses can be powered by renewable energy, even when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing.
