Energy Storage

Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production

Around 33% of the UK's electricity came from renewable sources last year. That figure is increasing as new solar and wind farms come online. Large battery storage stations will allow for the storage of electricity during peak generation times and its release when supply levels drop.

The major growth in renewables connecting to the grid network has resulted in a greater demand in energy storage.  Technologies such as battery storage support peak demand management and power equalisation. These grid services are being developed beside existing grid substations or alongside new energy generation projects.

Neo Environmental have significant experience in this sector having worked on over 1GW of battery storage including projects of 5MW up to 100MW in scale. These battery storage projects include some of the largest in the UK and Ireland.

The team has managed and completed the full suite of works for both stand-alone developments (adjacent the grid) and co-location projects, e.g. combined commercial solar farms and energy storage facilities (ESFs).
