“We’re really pleased to have commissioned our first battery project – a milestone for Thrive, which has also allowed us to further diversify our portfolio including wind, hydro, solar, geothermal and renewable heat. Battery storage will play a significant role in the UK’s journey towards a clean energy future, so we look forward to the additional opportunities storage has to offer and supporting the deployment of renewables across the country.”

“It’s fantastic to have completed the build and reached the commission stage – a hugely exciting step which will bring much needed additional capacity to the local distribution network. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in getting the project to this stage – from the contractors building the site through to the landowner who is hosting the project.”

“It has been great to be involved in the development of this battery site, especially as it is supporting much needed renewable capacity in the area. We were also able to use local contractors for the build, which is really important if we’re going to ensure a just transition.”
