A 100MW battery energised and connected recently by TagEnergy is currently the country’s largest.
The Lakeside Energy Park battery was connected via the 132kV Drax substation in North Yorkshire, which was upgraded by National Grid and its contractor Omexom.
Works included extending the busbars, upgrading busbar protection and substation control systems and installing an operational tripping scheme.
Tesla, Habitat Energy and RES are project partners in the plant, which is owned and operated by TagEnergy.
