Energy-efficiency specialist Anesco has joined forces with low-carbon energy generation and storage company Green Hedge Energy UK to introduce Green Hedge’s ‘energy barns’ – which use lithium-ion batteries – at four sites in England.

Located in the East Midlands and West Sussex, the projects were among the first energy-storage schemes to be allocated 15-year contracts in the Capacity Market auction.

The four projects, with a combined capacity of 40MW, will be constructed in the coming months and operate for 25 years.
