Newton Energi has submitted a planning application for a 100 MW battery energy storage facility in Lemington, Newcastle.
The proposed scheme would be used for renewable solar and wind energy for the National Grid. The three-acre application site, to the east and west of Riversdale Way, consists of two parcels of abandoned industrial land of 34,000 sq ft and 92,000 sq ft.
Ken Smithers, managing director of Newton Energi, told EG: “The project is part of the UK drive to zero carbon, and has been sited at this location due to its proximity to the Stella North substation.”
