Will the UK need more big solar projects?

Keith Gains the managing director of Quinbrook, the company who built Cleve Hill, said the UK will need lots more big solar projects to decarbonise electricity generation and provide energy security. "We're going to need big projects" he said, if the UK is to reach its net zero target.

How will a solar farm work?

The solar farm will be co-located with a 49.5MW / 99MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). By storing energy during peak power generation and exporting it back onto the grid when demand is high, the BESS will balance the intermittent energy production, maximise the site's efficiency and allow a greater output of clean energy.

What is solar and co-located battery storage?

Solar and co-located battery storage are an important part of the UK’s future energy mix, and a key component in the decarbonisation of our energy system. The new UK Government has committed to achieving clean power by 2030. To support this, the Government is aiming to triple solar capacity by the end of the decade.

Who are RWE solar & co-located battery storage?

Since 2022, following the acquisition and subsequent integration of one of the UK’s leading solar businesses, JBM Solar, RWE has expanded its solar and co-located battery storage fleet into one of the largest in the UK.

Is the UK a good market for energy storage?

The UK has emerged as one of the top-3 global markets for storage deployment with rapidly evolving revenue opportunities in grid services and wholesale transactions. Energy storage has become one of the most exciting and dynamic growth areas within the global energy sector.

How much solar power will Britain have by 2035?

The government’s recent Powering up Britain report reaffirmed its ambition for a five-fold increase in deployment of solar generation by 2035, with up to 70GW installed – enough to power around 20 million homes. The design and layout for the co-located solar farm and BESS will produce a net biodiversity gain.
