Wind farm developer Ørsted to prepare first major battery storage project
(WebFG News) - Denmark's Ørsted, one of the largest wind farm developers in the UK, is preparing the charge up of the first major battery storage project, which will allow National Grid to manage grid stability during fluctuations.
The project, which was initially developed by Shaw Energi, is due to start in May in Liverpool and is expected to be operational by the end of the year. NEC Energy Solutions will supply the 20MW battery system.
Matthew Wright, managing director of Ørsted UK, said: "The future energy system will be completely transformed from what it is today, with a smarter, more flexible grid, balancing supply and demand with new technology and cleaner energy generation. We want to continue to be at the forefront of this exciting shift towards a decarbonised energy system.
"Acquiring the Carnegie Road plant is an important step forward as it's our first commercial-scale battery storage project. We're investing billions of pounds in the UK's energy infrastructure and this is another significant investment that puts the UK at the heart of the global energy transition."
Aside from becoming one of Britain's largest commercial battery developers, the Danish firm, formerly known as Dong Energy, is also completing the world's largest wind farm.
