We’re excited to launch plans for a new solar farm with battery storage in Kent with PS Renewables.   South Brooks Solar Farm could power more than 140,000 homes and save around 225,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.   A six-week consultation period – including five public events – begins on 18 September, which will help shape plans for South Brooks and identify potential benefits the project could support in the local area.   Read more at https://lnkd.in/ew3YHUxf    #Solar #DCO #AcceleratingCleanEnergy

Exploring the Future of Clean Energy in North Yorkshire 🔬 🌍 The Knapton H2 Storage consortium has secured ‘discovery’ funding from Ofgem's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) to explore the potential for underground hydrogen storage near the Knapton power plant. Led by Northern Gas Networks, and partnered with Centrica Energy Storage +, British Geological Survey (BGS), Third Energy Onshore and the The University of Edinburgh, this study will assess the region’s geological suitability for large-scale hydrogen storage. This is a critical step in decarbonising gas-fired peaking plants and strengthening the UK’s energy resilience.

Following on from the government’s planned reforms to lower electricity costs and accelerate grid connections for UK industry, Rosa Rotko explores what these changes mean in a guest blog for Energy Live News. In the piece, Rosa also explains why many organisations are already taking proactive steps to increase on-site generation and storage to minimise energy costs. She says that understanding your energy demand profile and local grid availability is becoming essential for future planning and resilience. What are your thoughts on the reforms?

At Uskmouth in South Wales, a former coal power station is being reimagined as one of the UK’s largest battery storage projects. In partnership with Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, we’re investing in flexible energy solutions that can: ⚡ Balance supply and demand across the grid ⚡ Support renewable generation ⚡ Help manage energy costs for customers Two mega-scale batteries — each able to store 230 megawatt-hours — are already taking shape on site. Uskmouth isn’t just about building new infrastructure. It’s about transforming the energy system and proving that old power stations can power a cleaner, smarter future. 🌍 Read more: https://gloo.to/F7oD.

⚡Powering thousands of homes using solar!🌞 🔌 A major new solar site in Devon owned by renewable energy company RWE is now operational after being connected to the grid by National Grid Electricity Distribution. 🏡 The 35MW Langford Solar Farm near Cullompton expects to generate around 49,500 megawatt hours of electricity every year - enough to meet the annual needs of approximately 15,000 typical UK homes. ⚒️ NGED carried out significant engineering work so the solar park could connect to its high voltage 132kV network. Jason Baker, our head of major projects South West said: “This is an important project and its successful delivery is testament to all involved demonstrating a clear commitment to delivering secure, affordable, and clean energy to our customers and communities. Enabling renewable energy generation schemes like this is vital to support the UK energy transition.” #SolarPower #NationalGridElectricityDistribution
