Ørsted secures approval for battery linked to 2,852 MW Hornsea 3 offshore wind project off North Norfolk
The South Norfolk Council has approved Orsted's 200 MW battery storage project, which will be linked to the 2.9 GW Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm located approximately 120 km off the North Norfolk coast, in the UK.
The storage system will utilize lithium-ion batteries. No extra land will be required for the project, as it would be co-located with allowed infrastructure already planned at Swardeston. The equipment will be housed in noise- and safety-optimized modular structures or containers. All infrastructure would be removed at the end of the battery's useful life, and the batteries would be recycled.
To minimize interruption, the energy storage project and Hornsea 3 onshore substation will be built simultaneously.
