Overview

Ocker Hill BESS is a 99 MW/198 MWh project located in the Midlands. Construction is underway and the battery is expected to be operational in late 2026. The site of Ocker Hill BESS is close to site of the former Ocker Hill coal-fired power station.

40 years after the demolition of the original coal-fired power station at Ocker Hill, the nearby Ocker Hill BESS will be providing energy and grid services. By securing strong financial backing from NatWest Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, partnering with Tesla and contracting with SmartestEnergy the longest offtake in the UK to date, we are continuing to expand our role in building a more flexible and resilient energy system for the United Kingdom.

Timeline:

  • 2024: Development phase
  • 2025-2026: Construction phase
  • Late 2026: Operations
