Teesworks to Host Europe's Largest Battery Storage Facility
Key Ideas
  • Teesworks in Tees Valley is set to unveil plans for Europe's largest Battery Energy Storage System at the Long Acres section, providing up to 1000MW/4000MWh of green energy.
  • The £1bn 'Teesside Gigapark' will also consider integrating an electric vehicle charging facility, further boosting renewable energy infrastructure in the area.
  • The development by Natpower UK aligns with the region's commitment to green solutions, including hydrogen production plants and carbon capture projects at Teesworks.
  • The battery storage system will play a crucial role in accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, ensuring a stable green energy supply for homes and businesses.
Teesworks in the Tees Valley region of the United Kingdom is preparing to showcase plans for Europe's largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The agreement with Natpower UK will see the development of the £1bn 'Teesside Gigapark' on 50 acres of land, capable of providing up to 1000MW/4000MWh of additional green energy to the grid. This project also presents the opportunity to incorporate an electric vehicle charging facility at the site, demonstrating a significant investment in renewable energy infrastructure. Battery storage technology plays a crucial role in facilitating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources by storing energy from solar and wind power for when it is needed most. The development aligns with other green energy initiatives at Teesworks, including plans for hydrogen production plants and carbon capture projects, contributing to the growth of well-paid, highly skilled jobs in the region. NatPower UK's clean energy development program aims to integrate smart clean energy generation and distribution, with a target of bringing over 60GWh of battery storage online in the UK by 2040. The project highlights the region's commitment to sustainable energy solutions and further solidifies its position as a leader in green energy innovation.
