Conrad Energy has launched construction of a 6MW/12MWh battery energy storage system in Somerset, UK, after local opposition thwarted original plans for a new gas generator.
Nidec ASI, the Italy-based industrial solutions division of Japanese conglomerate Nidec Group, will provide EPC services for a 50MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Northern Ireland.
The UK will have 50GW-plus of energy storage installed by 2050 in a best case scenario attainment of net zero, according to grid operator National Grid’s Future Energy Scenarios report.
