Battery energy storage systems: The key player in renewable energy transition

Stabilising energy grids with battery storage.

The storage solution for a sustainable future

Integrating battery energy storage systems (BESS) to our grid network helps solve the challenge of intermittent energy generation. Historically, when renewable energy generation couldn’t meet demand, we relied on non-renewable fuels like gas to balance our electricity network. A BESS can reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy and stabilise the grid by balancing supply and demand.

Whether integrated with renewable energy systems or provided as a standalone solution, BESS storage is a vital asset to our local and national grid network.

How do BESS facilities work?

Components of battery energy storage systems

Battery Energy Storage Systems store renewable energy for use when the National Grid needs power. This aids in transitioning to a low carbon economy and achieving the UK’s net-zero goal by 2050. BESS systems ensure stable renewable energy access even without sun or wind.

Your BESS development partner

Investors, developers, and landowners around the world trust us to develop efficient BESS projects. We combine this experience with deep knowledge of the UK and Irish energy markets to deliver projects that secure and balance grids.

Developments like that at Scurf Dyke and Redshaw Energy Park are helping pioneer the British energy storage market. The result: more efficient and effective grid connections and a creative new route to market.
