Planning consent was awarded to BESS projects totalling 1,590MW/3,179MWh of capacity last month, meaning the UK now has a total of around 55.4GW/117GWh approved.
That’s according to the latest data from Solar Media Market Research’s ‘Battery Storage: UK Pipeline & Completed Assets Database’ report.
The quantity of battery energy storage system (BESS) pipeline with planning consent is a roughly 5% increase on the 52.3GW/111.5GWh at the end of March, which itself was a roughly 5% increase on the 50.2GW/106.2GWh at the end of January, the data shows.
Major projects that were awarded planning consent last month include a 200MW/400MWh BESS from OnPath Energy and a 456MW project from Gresham House (site layout pictured above), both in Scotland, first reported Solar Power Portal.
