PROJECT DETAILS

Lower Coalmoor BESS will provide 49.9MW of electricity storage and will connect to the network via the existing 132kV pylon within the site.

The application site comprises one regular-shaped land parcel (approximately 1.35 hectares in size) at the western end of an enclosed agricultural field currently used for grazing. The land is crossed by an overhead line which would provide direct connection to the national grid.

A new site access is proposed from the A4169 within the vicinity of the existing site access. A new permeable access track will be constructed from the site access, allowing vehicles to access the enclosed development area via two internal access points.

The planning application was submitted in Autumn 2023.
