Plans for a new battery energy storage plant next to a substation have been given the go-ahead, despite objections from residents and councillors. Developers said the facility, earmarked for green belt land on Hinksford Lane in Swindon, Staffordshire, could provide power to more than 26,000 houses.
The purpose of the battery energy storage system is to provide standby, emergency electricity for the National Grid in times of high electricity demand or when renewable energy projects are unable to fulfil demand, planning documents said.
The 680MW Carrington Storage proposal is Statera Energy’s largest consented BESS project to date, and once fully energised in 2026 is expected to be one of the largest BESS developments in Europe.
The newly acquired Carrington Storage project is over double the size of Statera’s upcoming Thurrock Storage project, a 300MW/600MWh BESS development combined with a 450MW flexible gas generation development.

The project would connect to National Grid’s Northfleet Substation. As the grid supply point for homes and business across Dartford, Gravesham and Sevenoaks Boroughs, Northfleet Substation is a strategically important location for adding battery energy storage to the electricity grid.
