Eelpower has acquired the recently-completed 20MW Rock Farm battery scheme from Anesco. Eelpower also acquired two storage projects that will be commissioned later this year – a 10MW scheme near Winchester and an 8MW scheme in Cumbria.

The company has plans to build up to 80MW of electricity storage capacity over the next 6-8 months, with a further 100MW every 3-6 months. It expects to deliver 1GW of storage by 2022 at an estimated cost of £500 million.
