EDF: two energy transition projects in UK
(CercleFinance.com) - EDF has announced that it has inaugurated two ground-breaking energy transition projects in the UK: a wind farm offshore Blyth and a battery storage facility at the West Burton B plant in the UK.
Located off the coast of Northumberland, the Wind farm of Blyth has five turbines, with a total power of 41.5 MW. It is the first off-shore wind farm to use float and submerge technology.
"The 49 MW battery storage facility located at West Burton B power station is the largest project in the new frequency control system which will be deployed across the UK to improve stability of the national grid. Against the backdrop of extensive development of renewable energy generation and the closure of ageing power plants, battery storage technology supports stability of the grid and can be used for rapid response to fluctuations in grid frequency," EDF announced.
