RES is exploring the potential for an energy storage project on land adjacent to the Pencoose Solar Farm, near Stithians.

Energy storage helps support National Grid by storing energy at times when generation exceeds demand and releasing electricity back to the national grid network when demand exceeds generation, thus creating a more stable and secure electricity system. Increasing the installed capacity of energy storage is essential to enabling and accelerating the rollout of zero carbon energy to support the UK’s net-zero emissions target.

We are keen to engage with the local community and as part of our pre-application consultation we recently held a public exhibition in the local area to share more information about the proposal and gather feedback on the proposal. For more information please click here.
