Renewable energy developer Innova has been granted full planning consent for a 49.9MW solar development with significant co-located energy storage capacity near Doncaster.
Lightrock Power and Bluefield Solar have been granted planning permission for a 100MW battery energy storage system (BESS) from the Mid Sussex District Council.
There is now over 7GWh of grid-scale BESS capacity online in the UK, but 2024 saw a slowdown in both capacity additions and overall pipeline growth, while Ireland saw growth.
Battery intelligence firm Brill Power has announced the launch of what it claims is the world’s first battery management as a service (BmaaS) offering.
The three 500MW/1,000MWh BESS projects in Scotland for which Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has made final investment decisions, the largest in Europe, go a long way towards supporting the UK’s net zero ambitions.
