Anesco receives approval for 50 MW battery storage facility in Essex
Brentwood Borough Council has approved the development of a 50 MW battery storage facility by Anesco in Essex, UK.
Located on a two-hectare site adjacent to a 132 kV substation, the energy storage system will comprise 28 battery container units. The project will offer flexible services to National Grid, supporting the UK’s transition to renewable energy.
The installation will have a lifespan of 40 years, after which it will be returned to its natural state. Significant ecological enhancements will be made to the site, including the planting of trees, hedges, and wildflowers, the creation of additional scrubland, and improvements to an existing pond, along with the addition of a further three new ponds.
