SSE has officially launched construction on its largest battery storage project to date, a 320MW battery energy storage system (BESS) located at Monk Fryston in North Yorkshire.
This facility is among the largest of its kind in the UK and is expected to power over 533,000 homes for up to two hours during periods of peak demand.
A ceremony to celebrate the beginning of construction took place on Tuesday, attended by representatives from SSE Renewables, principal contractors Morrison Energy Services and energy storage supplier Sungrow.
Heather Donald, Director of Onshore Wind, Solar & Battery, SSE Renewables, said: “It’s fantastic to have construction underway on our largest battery storage project at Monk Fryston, and to have been joined by our project partners Morrison Energy Services and Sungrow to mark the occasion.
“To be building a battery project of this size and scale is a huge testament to how far we have come in such a short space of time, with our first 50MW battery asset at Salisbury already entering full operations earlier this year.”
