Contact UsThree new UK battery energy storage systems (BESS) and a 150 MW capacity solar farm have won government approval. The Scottish government has given Kona Energy the green light for the construction and operation of the Smeaton battery energy storage system (BESS), a 228 MW/456 MWh project near Dalkeith, East Lothian.
As of June 2023, there are 161 operational BESS sites in the UK of varying sizes with a combined electricity storage capacity of 2.6GWh (enough to power around 5 million homes for an hour). Alongside Australia and the US, the UK is one of the leaders in the adoption of battery storage to support renewable energy generation.
We look at what's happening with the growth of BESS in the UK. According to Solar Media Market Research the energy storage market is experiencing substantial growth, with the total operational capacity for projects in the UK now at 4.6GW. This is projected to increase to 7.4GW by the end of the year. What about planned projects?
The UK government's 2030 target for decarbonising the country's electricity grid has been bolstered by development approval for a 228 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in Scotland and what is claimed to be the largest solar farm project in the UK to date Photo: Freepik
Scotland is hosting three of Europe's largest battery energy storage systems: Projects: Coalburn 2 in South Lanarkshire, Devilla in Fife and Coalburn 1 are already under construction. Capacity: Co-located total power capacity of 1.5GW and 3 GWh of energy storage capacity. Timeline: Effective by 2027-28.
Recent Additions: In the fourth quarter of 2024, 381 MW of battery capacity was connected to the grid alone, the largest quarter growth of capacity, overall. There is great potential for the growth of battery storage capacity in the UK: 2030 Targets: The UK has a target to increase battery storage capacity to 27-30 GW by 2030.
