EOS property and asset management has submitted plans to build a multi-million-pound battery storage facility at the Teesworks development on Teesside.
If planning permission is granted by Redcar & Cleveland Council, a Battery Energy Storage System will be built on a three-acre plot at the Long Acres section of the 2,500 acre Teesworks site on the south bank of the River Tees.
The £62m facility will enable up to 100 Megawatts (MW) of additional green energy to be plugged into the grid.
Over the course of a year, the EOS aims for the facility to cut carbon emissions by 4,000 metric tons – the equivalent of driving a car 11.6 million kilometres or 289 times around the world.
The planned site for the EOS facility is at the south west corner of the Teesworks site.
It adjoins the area where hydrogen production facilities HyGreen Teesside and H2 Teesside and the Net Zero Teesside project are being planned to be built.
Teesworks Limited chairman Chris Musgrave said: “Battery energy storage is another key piece in the clean energy mix at Teesworks, helping to ensure that energy needs can be met from renewable sources regardless of weather conditions.
“We look forward to working with the team at EOS on this project if the proposals are approved.”
