Project description
Project type: Outdoor Battery Storage
Planning Status: Planning Consent may be required
Grid Connection: 1 MW Import and Export
Located alongside the river Severn on the site of a now decommissioned nuclear power station, Berkeley Green College opened to students in September 2017. Space has been set aside to add 1MW of battery storage capacity in a small section of the visitor car park. The substation on site connects to Western Power Distribution’s 11kV network and sits adjacent to the allocated space.
The space set aside is 25m by 6m on an area of hard standing next to the substation.
Being an outdoor location it is expected that the battery system will need to be containerised. Access roads and hard standing are already in place, but please inform us of specific loading requirements for us to undertake the necessary civil works prior to delivery of the equipment.
The Berkeley site will have a certain installed capacity of PV and wind turbine – estimated at 250 kW. This may be used for charging the battery.
