Plans to build a 360MW/729MWh energy storage system in the UK have moved forward following a deal between Elements Green and G2 Energy.
The £71.5 million ($92 million) deal is to build a grid-connected ESS built near Staythorpe National Grid Substation, Nottinghamshire.
The agreement will see Elements Green design and build the ESS and G2 Energy (part of Mitie Power & Grid) deliver the grid-connection infrastructure.
After obtaining full planning approval in 2024, work was due to begin on site in February.
Kelvin Ruck, managing director, Mitie Power & Grid, said: “We have been collaborating with Elements Green over the past few months to optimise the design and delivery schedule of this prestigious energy storage project.”
