Natpower UK got an agreement with SEMBCORP UK UK Limited for a 32 -acre site at Wilton International in RDCAR, where it will submit the first facilities storage project in the UK and Gather Infrastructure, customized port.
The project will include a file 1-gAGawatt (GW) / 8 Gigawatt-Hour (GWH).
It represents anyone The highest capacity and Tal long storage projects In the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom also faces Network bottlenecksEstimated 3.5 billion pounds (4.7 billion dollars) annually in the wasted clean energy Because of reducing and height Industrial energy costsNatpower responds to 1 billion pounds (1.35 billion dollars), Tised Gigabark.
According to what was reported, the project will be presented Advanced battery storage facilities (bess)Designed to operate both industry and ports during empowerment Naval.
According to what was reported, it will be created around it 200 building jobsLong -term generation Skilled employmentAnd investment 2 million pounds ($ 2.7 million) annually In the local community.
the Teesside Gigapark It will work in the storage capacity for four hours (4 GWH) at the beginning, with the ability to double to eight hours (8 GWH).
This level of The duration and ability combined It has not been delivered before in the UK, where most Bess’s developments work in an hour to two hours, Natpower UK said.
“Teesside, our most stones, will be in Wilton International, planning how to combine us Storage of high -capacity renewable energy With ports and industry electrification.
“Within five years, we can convert one of the most important industrial centers in the United Kingdom to a Net-Zero Economic power Then repeat this model in the ports around the world. “

Natpower will build and operate the site to connect it to the network by 2028. Natpower designs infrastructure from start to Power ships in the sidewalk (Cold ironing) and Recharge electrical payment systems For future vessels.
According to what was reported, Bess Tesside Gigapark will be one of the most Advanced in the United KingdomAnd the engineers have Design it to maintain the balance of the network The nation also moves to clean energy.
With the demand for electricity demand, it rises 50 percent by 2050 And Extra 15 percent It is expected from the freight electrification, the faces of the network in the United Kingdom Unprecedented.
the Gigawatt multi -system You will store the surplus Renewable electricity From external winds and other generators when production is high, then he launched it immediately during periods The height of the request Or low generation.
This ability will actively help the system Reducing renewable energy reduction.
This clean and flexible power now will now enable this to be able to do so Carbon removal in the UK shipping In Tisid.
Once operation, the Bess infrastructure will make it possible Beach power for ships For cold ironing in the sidewalk, eliminating emissions during the sidewalk, in the anchor, and electric push while working near the beach.

Mike Patrick, CEO of SEMBCORP Energy UK said Storage of advanced battery power Projects to Wilton International.
With its strong network infrastructure, Wilton International provides an ideal platform for expanding a long -term battery storage scope and Supporting the naval electrification. This project strengthens Wilton international as a strategic location for its role Carbon low innovationHe leads the UK’s journey towards the future of Safi. “
Earlier this year, the UK energy networks planned to launch its “Electric Thames” project, which aims to transform the maritime sector by significantly reducing carbon emissions.
