Maldon Battery Energy Storage System

Maldon is a 40MW/40MWh Battery Energy Storage System in Essex, England which will provide vital flexibility to enable more renewable generation and increase the resilience of the UK electricity network. The battery is strategically located in a highly congested area of the UK network, on the outskirts of London, and is expected to be operational by Q2 2024.

To meet net zero by 2050, the UK Government has committed to decarbonise the electricity system by 2035. Battery storage is a critical enabler of this transition, helping to store and shift renewable generation to times of day when it is most needed, while helping to balance electricity supply and demand second-by-second.
