Zenobe claims Battery will be largest grid-connected battery in Europe and first to absorb reactive power directly from a transmission network
Zenobe Energy has announced plans for a pioneering 100MW battery storage project in north-west England, which it claims will be the largest of its kind in Europe once up and running next year.
Situated in Capenhurst near Ellesmere Port, the battery system is sheduled to be operational from April 2022, providing the Merseyside area with a reliable reactive power source while at the same time supplying active power services, the energy storage start-up announced earlier this week.

Zenobe Energy is to develop a 100MW grid battery in the UK, which will be the largest in Europe when built.
The energy storage plant, to be located in Capenhurst in north-west England, will be the first in the world to absorb reactive power directly from a transmission network, Zenobe said.
The battery is due to be operational in April 2022 and will power Mersey and the surrounding areas with a reliable reactive power service as well as operate active power services concurrently.
The Capenhurst project was commissioned as a direct response to the National Grid’s pathfinder programme, seeking to solve the challenge of reactive energy management through the use of innovative technology.
