Southern Energy Storage Enterprise
Southern Research operates the Southeast Solar Research Center, where the performance and longevity of solar PV panels are tested. "This symposium is gathering energy storage leaders from across the U.S. with expertise in different fields – technology, economics, policy – at a time when innovation is making these systems more capable of performing
Where is SSE Renewables delivering its second battery energy storage system?
SSE Renewables has taken a Final Investment Decision to proceed with, and entered into contracts to deliver, its second battery energy storage system (BESS). The 150MW project is located at the site of SSE’s former Ferrybridge coal-fired power station in West Yorkshire, England.
Does SSE Renewables have a battery & solar project?
SSE Renewables has almost 2GW of battery and solar projects currently in development or under construction. These technologies are key to helping SSE deliver on its Net Zero Acceleration Programme to provide the green energy we need to decarbonise. By building out more battery storage, we can get more renewable power onto the Grid.
Where is SSE Renewables located?
Located next to the former Ferrybridge coal power station, this important new project demonstrates clearly the transition to net zero while supporting new green jobs. SSE Renewables has almost 2GW of battery and solar projects currently in development or under construction.
What is SSE thermal?
In SSE Thermal, our vision is to become the leading provider of flexible thermal energy in a net zero world. To achieve this, we are working on cutting-edge carbon capture and hydrogen solutions across the UK.
Will SSE build a new battery storage project at Ferrybridge?
For decades the Ferrybridge coal-fired power station was a prominent feature of the West Yorkshire landscape, before being decommissioned by SSE in 2016. Now SSE Renewables’ plans to build a new 150MW battery storage project at Ferrybridge will provide flexible generation for Britain’s national grid and a new era for the site.
Where is SSE based?
The business has a 50MW BESS site already under construction in Salisbury, Wiltshire, due to be completed later this year. As one of the key drivers of the UK’s energy transition, SSE is investing £25bn in low carbon technology this decade to accelerate the UK and Ireland’s transition to net zero – creating 1,000 green jobs a year in the process.
