UK Networks Services is seeking suppliers for 22 battery energy storage systems to support EV charging hubs across the UK, marking the first phase of a broader program for approximately 160 sites. The initial systems, expected to be delivered later this year, will feature capacities of 50kW/50kWh, 100kW/100kWh, 150kW/150kWh, and larger 1,000kW/2,000kWh units.

This approach allows batteries to charge steadily from the grid and release power quickly for fast EV charging, addressing industry challenges with grid connections. The RFP represents a step towards mainstream adoption of battery-backed EV charging.
