Boom Power plans 237.5 MWac solar PV with energy storage project in Doncaster
Boom Power has secured a grid connection for a 237.5 MWac solar-plus-storage project at Thorpe Marsh Power Station in South Yorkshire, England. The project will require feasibility studies to inform its construction and is considered a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, which will be assessed by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.
Boom Power is also planning a standalone battery of 660 MWh, named the Carrog Battery Energy Storage System, to be located in Anglesey, Wales.
Boom Power has five projects currently in the planning system, which total over 100 MWh of storage and more than 150 MW of solar. The developer’s 49.9 MW Kenley solar project in Hull, which has already received planning consent, completed its judicial period without comment.
