BW ESS has launched its 100MW / 331MWh battery storage system in Bramley, Hampshire, marking a significant milestone in the UK's energy transition.
This project, the largest of its kind in the UK, will help stabilize the grid and facilitate the integration of more renewable energy. It is the first European project to use Sungrow's advanced PowerTitan 2.0 liquid-cooled technology, offering long-duration and versatile energy storage.
The Bramley BESS will meet the daily energy needs of 44,000 UK homes, reducing emissions, costs, and energy prices. It is a key part of BW ESS’ UK investment program and is expected to improve system resilience.
In a ceremony attended by key stakeholders, including representatives from Sungrow, Shell Energy Europe Limited, and government officials, the project was officially inaugurated by Andreas Sohmen-Pao, Chairman of BW Group. The facility is a major step forward in the UK's clean energy goals.
BW ESS has also signed a seven-year tolling agreement with Shell Energy Europe, marking a first for a single battery storage asset in Europe. This pioneering agreement is expected to set a new revenue model for BESS projects across the continent.
