A successful planning approval for a 2-hour 57MW battery energy storage system for Shaw Energi.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for modern energy management, offering a reliable solution for storing excess energy generated from renewable sources like solar and wind. After an extensive appraisal exercise with our client, the site was selected for its proximity to the main power station. Pye Design provided a series of design options to work with the site topography and to include the technical details required for this complex system.

Due to the sensitive greenbelt location, the siting of the units and additional landscaping was important to reduce any visual impact. Following a lengthy planning process, full approval was gained with support from Turley as planning consultants.
