Coventry battery storage
- Project Type: Battery storage
- Country: England
- Location: West Midlands
Our Coventry battery was the fourth such project that we brought online within the UK. It is located adjacent to the National Grid Coventry substation and became operational in December 2023.
What does the battery do?
Battery storage is essential to enable greater use of renewable energy and meet the UK Government’s legally binding target to end the country’s contribution to climate change by 2050. The technology automatically charges and discharges throughout the day to help National Grid manage peaks and troughs in electricity supply and demand. It will also deliver economic benefits, helping to create a smarter, more flexible energy system which could save up to £40 billion by 2050.
