Boom Power has announced plans to develop a more than 200MW UK solar and battery project.
The company obtained an import and export grid connection of 237.5 MWac at Thorpe Marsh Power Station, Doncaster.
The import capacity allows the batteries to charge at non-peak times when there is surplus energy, capturing what would otherwise be wasted renewable energy.
Given the scale of the connection, the project will be classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) and therefore assessed by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.
The land within the local area is being explored and feasibility studies are underway to inform the scheme.
In addition, Boom Power has announced that the Kenley Solar Farm in Hull has received planning consent and the judicial period passed with no comment.
Mark Hogan, Founder of Boom Power, said: “A crucial part of the strategy to reach net zero by 2050 is to transition to an electricity system with 100% zero-carbon generation and a large proportion of this is to come from renewable energy.
“I am of firm belief that supporting ambitious action and bold commitments will supercharge the electricity market with a sustainable pathway into long-term energy independence.”
