Aura Power are developing a 100MW battery storage site near Capenhurst, Chester which has a strong industrial economy. The site is located on the edge of the industrial region of Cheshire and Warrington and will support the region in becoming the global leader in clean energy.
Battery storage systems play a crucial role in the decarbonisation of our electricity network with much needed increases in renewable energy sources. Batteries store excess energy at times of low demand i.e. from a solar farm on a sunny day, and discharge the energy back into the grid when it is needed the most.
We are now undertaking a series of environmental planning studies and will be consulting with local residents prior to submitting a formal planning application.
Pre-planning consultations with local community members.
The planning application is due to be submitted to Cheshire West and Cheshire Council.
The planning application is expected to be determined.
Construction is expected to commence. The local community will be notified in advance.
Equivalent number of homes powered each year
Equivalent amount of Co2 saved each year
Equivalent number of cars powered each year
We believe it is important to consult with the local community on all of our developments, big or small. The proposed site for this battery development has limited visibility from nearby residents however we are always open to answering questions and helping address any concerns the local community may have.
