The combined solar and battery installation has the capacity to provide power for over 500 homes. Camborne has selected this design to demonstrate the ability to provide a balanced grid and grow its ambitions for pioneering co-located energy systems throughout the UK, the company announced.
Local installer Nottingham based Poweri Services
The Tesla Powerpacks will be installed by Nottingham based EPC Poweri Services. They have been produced specifically to operate and integrate seamlessly with the solar PV site, optimising the existing assets and providing ancillary services to National Grid, the company announced.
Important step for storage development in UK
“The development of Tesla’s first European grid-tied system is an exciting step forward for Camborne and Tesla in terms of our respective storage strategies”, Dan Taylor, Managing Director of Camborne, said. “This project is another success for storage development in the UK and being co-located with a renewable generation site, should offer significant benefits to all stakeholders.” Powerpack is Tesla’s utility and business energy storage system which is modular and can be scaled to the space, power and energy requirements of a commercial or industrial site.
Pipeline of more than 100 MWh energy storage projects in UK
Camborne has more than 100 MWh energy storage projects in UK in planning. Futhermore the company has an exclusivity agreement over the land with one of the UK’s largest landowners, specifically for the development of energy storage, Taylor said. The company is part of the Camborne Capital Group, whose background includes the development of more than 180 MW of solar PV in the UK and a real estate investment division for sustainable homes.
