A 99.9MW energy storage project in development in northern England by Renewable Energy Systems (RES) has secured planning permission, with the asset set to be operational in late 2023.
Located in the Selby area in North Yorkshire, the Lakeside Energy Storage Project will be the largest energy storage project in RES’ now 420MW portfolio of energy storage in the UK and Ireland once completed.
The development has consent for 51 energy storage containers and 42 transformers, with construction expected to start in late 2022.

Natural Gas Pragmatism Is The Fastest Route To Decarbonization
When it comes to the energy transition, we can’t allow perfect, in the words of Voltaire, to become the enemy of the good. The stewardship of our planet demands that we take concrete steps towards a carbon-free future, and we make them now.

KENDALLVILLE â Itâs going to cost a little more now, but Kendallville is hoping a solar field designed and installed by a local green energy firm will reap bigger savings later.
Itâll cost about $800,000 more up front, but Kendallville has selected Renewable Energy Systems out of Avilla to build its new solar field on the former McCray Refrigerator factory site, despite that company submitting a higher bid among two received for the project.
Local governments are tasked with selecting the lowest most responsible and responsive bidder, not just the lowest price, and in this case, they felt that Renewable fit that bill better than Solar Energy Systems out of Nappanee.
