RWE has advanced plans for a 350MW battery energy storage system (BESS) to be installed next to its Pembroke Power Station in Wales, UK.
The proposed BESS will occupy 5.1 hectares of land adjacent to the Pembroke Power Station. It will include 212 battery containers and 106 power conversion systems (PCS), enabling connection to the UK power grid.
A pre-application consultation period is now open. Local community members can provide feedback on the planning application until Monday, 15 July. RWE has stressed its commitment to environmental responsibility, with plans for planting species-rich meadows, native woodland, scrub, and a new large pond to support local wildlife.
Richard Little, director of the Pembroke Net Zero Centre, commented on the proposals: “RWE Pembroke Battery is the next step in our investment in innovative energy technologies, as part of our vision for the Pembroke Net Zero Centre. We appreciate those who participated in our Green Hydrogen consultation and encourage the community to engage with this consultation, learn more about our battery energy storage plans, and share their views on the proposals.”
