Renewable energy company RES has been given the go-ahead to build a new energy storage project in North Yorkshire. The 99.9 MW Lakeside Energy Storage project will be located in the Selby district of North Yorkshire.
The utility-grade batteries will store electricity from the national grid at times of low demand and high renewables generation, with the stored energy exported back to the grid at times of high demand and lower renewable electricity generation.
The development has consent for 51 energy storage containers and 42 transformers. Construction is expected to begin in late 2022, and the site is set to be fully operational by late 2023.
