Planning granted for 350MW battery by M6 toll

Penso Power and Luminous Energy have secured planning approval for a battery site with 350MW/1750MWh connection capacity at Hams Hall, close to the M6 Toll in North Warwickshire.
The project is expected to provide a range of services including potentially longer duration services, with scope for more than five hours duration.
Hams Hall is part of a pipeline of projects that BW Group committed to fund under an agreement announced with Penso Power in October 2021. Penso Power, Luminous Energy and BW Group will become joint shareholders in the development, with Penso Power overseeing the project’s deployment and managing the project once it is operational.
Penso Power’s 100MW Minety battery storage scheme (near Swindon, Wiltshire) entered commercial operation in July 2021.
