SSE Renewables plans 150 MW battery energy storage project in West Yorkshire
SSE Renewables has taken a Final Investment Decision to proceed with, and entered into contracts to deliver, its second battery energy storage system (BESS). The 150 MW BESS project will be located at the site of SSE’s former Ferrybridge coal-fired power station in West Yorkshire, England.
The investment is part of SSE’s GBP12.5 billion (US$15.62 billion) Net Zero Acceleration Programme and means construction will now commence later this month at the iconic site.
With a grid connection confirmed for June 2024, the project is expected to be fully operational by late 2024 and is being developed in conjunction with battery technology supplier Sungrow Power Supply Co. Ltd. and construction partner OCU Services Ltd.
