Battery Energy Storage Systems Projects
Low Carbon develops both co-located and standalone energy storage assets, to unlock the full potential of intermittent wind and solar.
Low Carbon has a pipeline of battery energy storage systems across Europe
Battery energy storage systems (BESS), are devices that enable energy from renewables to be stored and then released when power is needed most.
Grid-scale storage is a necessity to enable a fully renewable grid.
Unlike other renewable assets, the footprint of storage is small and unintrusive. If you have even a small plot of land available and are interested in the opportunity to generate long-term, sustainable income please contact us via email development@lowcarbon.com or by completing the contact form here.
Our development process
Low Carbon manages the entire process.
1. Land assessment: we work with landowners to evaluate the suitability for battery storage and follow with land and environment surveys
2. Grid connection: with your approval, we apply for a zero obligation grid connection on your land
3. Planning: once the land agreement is secured with the owner, we will undertake a full Environmental Impact Assessment and apply for planning
4. Construction: with planning completed and a grid connection confirmed, Low Carbon will initiate the construction of the battery storage site
5. Operation and Asset Management: once the site has been successfully commissioned, the battery storage site becomes fully operational. All asset management duties are carried out by Low Carbon
6. Local community: we will engage and work with your community and other local stakeholders to deliver the maximum benefit to your area
Facts about Battery Storage
- Lithium-ion batteries, used in phones and electric vehicles, are currently the dominant grid-scale storage technology
- Battery storage technology has a key part to play in ensuring homes and businesses can be powered by green energy, even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind has stopped blowing.
- Battery storage is dispatched every second to keep the supply and demand on the energy grid in balance, preventing imbalance and blackouts.
- The emergence of battery energy storage facilities offers a gradual replacement of fossil-fuel power plants during peak energy demand.
