Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in the UK, according to GlobalData''s power database. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of the global energy storage segment.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) play an important role in successfully implementing integrated renewables, providing grid stability, and ensuring energy efficiency during the energy transition currently being witnessed in the UK.
We provide complete construction services for battery storage sites across the UK. This includes standalone grid-connected BESS, hybrid storage and solar installations, and battery storage integrated with substations and flexible generation.
Mitie Power & Grid and renewables developer Elements Green have begun construction on the 360 MW / 720 MWh Staythorpe battery energy storage system (BESS) in Newark, Nottinghamshire, approximately 180 kilometers north of London.
From the caverns of Teesside and the reservoirs of Scotland to futuristic cryogenic tanks near Manchester, the UK is assembling a flexible, secure and low-carbon energy storage landscape.
Construction has commenced on a massive battery energy storage system (BESS) project at Cellarhead in the West Midlands, with 54 BESS containers installed in only 38 days.
There has been a shift in the pipeline for current and future long duration electricity storage (LDES), from over 7.2GW in December 2023 to 10.5GW in May 2024. In January, the Government published its long-awaited consultation on the cap and floor revenue stabilisation mechanism for LDES.

However, within the UK, numerous sites over 1GWh in size have already been approved and construction has begun on some of these sites that will ultimately become some of the largest BESS projects in Europe.
Thurrock Storage, the UK''s largest battery energy storage system (BESS) developed by Statera Energy is now energised and delivering electricity to the grid. This landmark 300MW battery storage site is capable of powering up to 680,000 homes with instantaneous power over two hours.
The research by UK independent power producer Root-Power identifies 173 BESS projects, with a combined capacity of 7.6GW, likely to benefit from changes designed to accelerate the UK''s transition to clean power.
