Our Proposals
The Caldwell Road BESS will charge with electricity from the grid during periods of high renewable energy generation, or low demand, and then discharge that electricity during periods of higher demand. 
The BESS is able to contribute to grid stability by offering frequency control services to the National Grid. Effective energy storage will allow significant increases in intermittent renewable generation from wind and solar onto the UK electricity system by allowing the balance of supply and demand. 
Please see the proposed site layout plan below:
The site is located to the south of the proposed Battery Energy Storage System with associated access, landscaping and ancillary works on land south of Walton Road (DMPA/2023/1665) and to the north west of Barn Farm (DMPA/2023/0170). These are shown on the draft landscape strategy below.
