The Proposal

A BESS stores energy during times of low demand and high generation and feeds it back onto the local network during times of peak demand, providing much needed balancing services to the grid.

This allows for a greater reliance on renewable energy generation, such as wind and solar power, which is inherently intermittent and suffers from curtailment.

These assets aid in hitting local and national net zero targets through unlocking the full potential of renewable energy generation.

National Grid estimates show integrating technologies like battery storage could save the UK up to £40 billion by 2050, reducing energy bills.

his battery storage site has been designed to store 500MW of power and will supply electricity to the National Grid during times of peak energy demand, supporting other low-carbon and renewable projects, aimed to help ensure the UK meets its Net Zero targets.

The site is located to the West and North of Sidhil Business Park, Holmfield Industrial Estate, Holdsworth Road, Holmfield, Halifax.

1. Resilient Power Supply

 Ensure uninterrupted operations by relying on battery storage during unexpected power outages caused by storms, accidents, or grid failures.

2. Cost Savings through Peak Shaving

Trim down electricity costs significantly by using battery storage to offset peak demand charges  during periods of high electricity consumption.

3. Grid Stability with Demand Response

Contribute to grid stability during peak demand by participating in demand response programs,  where battery storage responds dynamically to maintain a balanced and reliable electrical grid.

4. Renewable Integration for Sustainable Energy

Enhance your sustainability efforts by seamlessly integrating renewable energy sources like solar power with battery storage, optimising the use of clean energy.

5. Flexible Energy Consumption

Gain control over energy usage with battery storage, allowing flexible release of stored energy based on varying demands throughout the day.

6. Environmental Impact Reduction

Minimising your carbon footprint by utilising battery storage to efficiently manage energy consumption, reducing reliance on conventional power sources and contributing to a greener environment.

7. Community Benefits

Our project brings diverse advantages, including land use diversification, biodiversity net gain, job creation, education initiatives, and investment in local community development and charities
