What our ideal habitat looks like
01
Easy Grid Connection
It is crucial for us to be close to a reliable electricity network, therefore we mainly seek locations near existing electrical infrastructure.
02
Shape & type
We prefer homogeneous, flat terrain, but we can work with undulating or sloped land. We also favor lower-grade agricultural land with no environmental designations.
03
Size requirements
For battery storage, a smaller section of land is needed compared to what is required to develop a solar farm.

Frequently asked questions
BESS sites are predominately made of shipping containers, roughly 2.5m high, and can be screened relatively easily using bunding and landscaping methods, such as trees and hedgerows. The most likely part of the site to be visible will be the electrical infrastructure from the onsite substation, which will have an appearance not uncommon with the backdrop landscape. A Landscape Visual Impact Assessment will be submitted with the full planning application to assess any visual impact.
BESS sites enable energy from renewables, like solar and wind, to be stored and then released when the power is needed most. Whilst the main function is to soak up surplus clean electricity and discharge it back when needed, the plant can also operate in several different modes to provide grid stability services, for example helping to manage voltage and frequency imbalances as renewable generation dips up and down.
Once planning consent is secured and Grenergy have the green light from National Grid to proceed with the project then typically it takes 9 months to construct a plant including civil and electrical work, then it should follow a 30 year lifespan before a decommissioning period of around 6 months.
The panels are roughly 3m high and can be screened relatively easily using bunding and landscaping methods, such as trees and hedgerows. A Landscape Visual Impact Assessment will be submitted with any planning application assessing the visual impact and recommending any necessary mitigation measures.
