The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) has exchanged contracts to acquire the right to develop three battery storage sites in the north of England totalling 250MW.
Two of the projects, which when built will total 165MW with a two-hour duration, are scheduled for grid connection and commencement of operations in 2024 and 2025.
The third site, which has a capacity for 85MW also with a two-hour duration, will be built later in line with its grid connection date, which is in 2029, although it may be possible to bring this date forward.
The sites, which have been developed by and acquired from Aura Power Developments Limited, each have land rights, planning permission and grid connection agreements secured.
RES is being contracted to progress the development of the projects through the procuring of equipment and construction.
