Shell offtakes power from 100 MW Minety power storage project in Wiltshire
Shell Energy Europe Limited (SEEL) has agreed to a multi-year power offtake deal that enables the installation of Europe’s biggest battery.
The 100 megawatts (MW) Minety power storage project in south-west England, which is backed by China Huaneng Group and Chinese sovereign wealth fund CNIC, is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. The two 50 MW batteries will enable SEEL and Shell subsidiary Limejump to optimize the use of renewable power in the area.
Limejump, a wholly-owned Shell subsidiary that manages the largest network of batteries in the UK, will optimize the use of Europe’s biggest battery through its pioneering Virtual Power Platform.
