Europe's largest battery energy storage installation has gone live in the UK with the capacity to store up to 196MWh of electricity, pointing the way towards greater use of the technology to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy.
The Pillswood project near Hull towards the North Sea coast of England has been developed by Harmony Energy Limited and aims to provide load balancing services to the electricity grid. It is claimed to store enough energy to power around 300,000 homes for two hours.
According to Harmony, the project is based on Tesla battery technology, employing multiple units of the company's Megapack system. Each unit is about the size of a shipping container and is capable of storing over 3MWh of energy. Construction of the project has also been managed by Tesla.
The same technology is already in use at the Victoria Big Battery in Australia, one of the largest renewable energy storage facilities in the world.

He added: "One of the biggest issues is scale and cost, and although there are some good examples of grid based systems such as Hull, this may not be all that feasible for datacenter campuses."
