Pulse Clean Energy has launched its 30MW/60MWh battery energy storage system at Town Lane, Charnock Richard, Lancashire. This site is the company's eighth operational project since 2023, enhancing grid stability as renewable energy sources expand.

The facility, developed on a former scrapyard, is designed to absorb surplus electricity and provide balancing services to the national power network. It can power over 65,000 homes for an hour and prevent approximately 2,500 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, equating to 700 diesel cars removed from the road.

In addition, over 500 tonnes of hazardous waste were removed during site preparation, and wildlife support measures such as bat and bird boxes were implemented. The project is part of a £220 million green debt deal from six international banks. Pulse Clean Energy aims for over 2GWh of installed capacity in the UK by 2030.
