The 300MW Thurrock Storage project, developed by Statera Energy, is now energised and delivering electricity flexibly to the network across London and the south east.
Total installed grid-scale battery storage capacity stood at close to 28 GW at the end of 2022, most of which was added over the course of the previous 6 years.
With a total capacity of 600MWh, Thurrock Storage is capable of powering up to 680,000 homes, and can help to balance supply and demand by soaking up surplus clean electricity and

A battery energy storage system (BESS), battery storage power station, battery energy grid storage (BEGS) or battery grid storage is a type of energy storage technology that uses a group of batteries in the grid to store electrical energy. Battery storage is the fastest responding dispatchable source of power on electric grids, and it is used to stabilise those grids, as battery storage can transition from standby to full power in u
Developed by Statera Energy, the battery unit — which has a total capacity of 600MWh — is now delivering flexible electricity into the network serving London and the south‑east.
Since battery storage plants require no deliveries of fuel, are compact compared to generating stations and have no chimneys or large cooling systems, they can be rapidly installed and placed if
Originally built with a 100MW connection in 2021, the facility has now been upgraded to a 150MW connection and has the capacity to store 266MWh of electricity. It is currently the largest operational
This post investigates the state of the UK battery storage pipeline, year-to-date figures and an insight into the appetite to develop over time. Battery storage is essential for providing the
