Northumberland Estates has submitted planning applications for two 50MW battery energy storage projects in North Tyneside, in the UK.
In addition to these schemes, the company has also announced long-term plans to invest in solar energy, including large-scale developments and rooftop deployments.
Each site has been considered to maximise the import and export of energy and produce a reliable, cost-effective supply.
David Straughan, Northumberland Estates, Director of Development, said: “Progress towards renewables requires a significant change in the UK’s energy infrastructure and backup technologies, such as battery energy storage systems, are vital to secure the supply for use outside of sunlight hours.
“They offer a safe and effective way of storing green energy, ensuring we can provide a stable supply during peak electric usage or operate critical systems during a grid outage and supports the UK’s drive towards a renewable-powered future.”
