Approval received for 200 MW battery storage project in Heysham
Kona Energy has secured planning consent for the 200 MW battery storage facility in Heysham, Lancashire, UK.
The project is located at the landing point of six offshore wind farms, helping to alleviate grid constraints, reduce energy bills and increase the utilization of renewable energy. Once operational, the facility is expected to offset 45,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
The project will provide crucial local grid services due to the closure of the Heysham nuclear power stations in 2024 and 2028.
