Renewable energy company Anesco has completed work on a 20MW battery storage project in the north west of England.
The project is located in Lascar near Manchester and is comprised of 16 1.25MW lithium ion containers.
It has been funded, designed and installed by Anesco and is being monitored by the company’s operation and maintenance service, which will ensure the batteries continue to perform at their optimum efficiency.
The development is benefiting from multiple revenue streams, including the wholesale market, capacity market and National Grid’s balancing services, which seek to secure the security and quality of the UK’s power supply.
Anesco executive chairman Steve Shine commented: “We’re delighted to have successfully seen yet another large scale storage project through from planning, to deployment and long term management.
“As the largest and most established provider in the country, we have access to a comprehensive data set.
“This has allowed us to create a tool capable of predicting whole life cost, IRR and long term revenue streams.”
