InterGen to build 320 MW energy storage project in Essex
InterGen has been granted consent by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to install an energy storage project in Essex at DP World London Gateway on the Thames Estuary, Essex, United Kingdom.
The GBP200 million (US$ 267.05 million) project is set to provide at least 320MW/640MWh of capacity, with the potential to expand to 1.3GWh.
When fully charged, the battery could power up to 300,000 homes for two hours. However, it will mostly be used to support and stabilize existing electricity supplies.
Construction of the project is expected to begin in 2022, becoming operational in 2024.
