Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in the UK has granted planning permission for a 40MW battery project.
Queequeg is developing the project.
The site will integrate advanced battery technology, acoustic barriers and a bespoke landscaping plan to enhance the natural environment.
In partnership with Pegasus Group and Biodiverse Consulting, Queequeg designed Clapgate to respect the area’s Green Belt and increase the local biodiversity by 36%.
With selected partners, Queequeg will lead the project’s construction phase, commencing the work on the procurement, EPC contracting, and building processes next year.
“Clapgate BESS will play a key role in providing grid balancing services and a more resilient electricity network in the North West.
“It also marks another important milestone in executing our pipeline of BESS, wind and solar projects across the UK and Italy.
“We take pride in contributing to the UK’s energy transition with another carefully crafted development that will stand the test of time whilst respecting the landscape and community it sits in,” said Christopher Binns, Planning Director, Queequeg Renewables.
Gabriella Palla, President of Queequeg Renewables, said: “Our current pipeline of 6.6GW demonstrates our ambition to lead in the renewable energy sector.
“Through our valuable partnerships with blue-chip companies, we’re actively transforming renewable opportunities into reality across our current markets.
“This progress, combined with our team’s exceptional talent and dedication, exemplified by projects like Clapgate, fuels our ambition to expand geographically over the next five years.”
