Storing Energy for the Future
Masdar Arlington Energy are proposing to develop an Energy Storage Facility in the form of modular battery units and associated infrastructure, which will be connected to the National Grid.
The purpose of the facility will be to store surplus electricity to feed back into the Grid as required during peak periods of demand.
This website has been prepared to provide information about the proposed energy storage facility on land off A520, Leek Road, Werrington, and to allow any questions and/or concerns to be addressed by the Project Team as part of our detailed planning submission.
This website enables you to view information boards that provide details of the proposal including plans, as well as an explanation of what Masdar Arlington Energy propose at the site.
You are also given the opportunity to comment and your comments will be considered by the project team before the planning application is submitted in late June.
