PWA Planning has launched plans for a 400MWh battery storage system for Sandbrook Capital BES Ltd on the former Avondale Nursery site in West Lancashire. The project received committee approval despite objections from Lathom Parish Council regarding its location on Green Belt land.
The system will connect at 85MW (170MWh) and aims to enhance the electricity network's resilience while facilitating renewable energy integration. It will consist of 66 battery containers within a secure compound.
The West Lancashire Borough Council determined that the benefits of energy storage justify the development on Green Belt land, considering local job creation and ecological enhancements. The facility is expected to operate for 40 years before decommissioning.
