Which energy storage projects have been sold to Foresight Energy Infrastructure Partners?

In May last year, it sold two battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in southern England to Foresight Energy Infrastructure Partners: Sundon BESS, a 49.5MW project north of London that will connect with National Grid’s Energy Park initiative; and Warley BESS, a 57MW project in Essex. Both sites have grid connection dates in 2024.

What are battery storage plants?

In short, battery storage plants, or battery energy storage systems (BESS), are a way to stockpile energy from renewable sources and release it when needed. When the wind blows and the sun shines turbines and solar panels may generate more energy than needed on a particular day.

Where will invinity energy systems build a battery?

Invinity Energy Systems will build the battery at its factory in Scotland, and will integrate it with the existing power infrastructure of the National Grid to alleviate pressure during peak times. SynchroStor will construct a Pumped Thermal Energy Storage (PTES) grid-connected demonstration plant.

Can the UK modernise its energy system?
