Planning approval received for 57 MW battery storage facility in Braintree
EDF Renewables UK has won planning approval for a new grid-scale 57 MW battery storage facility construction project in Braintree, Essex, UK.
The Braintree battery storage site will be situated alongside a solar farm. This initiative by EDF Renewables UK will bolster Essex's efforts to achieve its net-zero goals by 2050, aiding in the transition toward a renewable-powered electricity system. To ensure a seamless shift to renewables, investments in technologies like energy storage are essential to maximize their advantages, enhancing overall system stability and reliability, and ultimately facilitating efficient home power supply.
