Additional information

Drax, a U.K. power company, seeking planning permission to continue the reinvention of its North Yorkshire coal plant by installing a 200 MW battery onsite. If approved and commissioned, the storage facility would be the biggest in the world, dwarfing the 129 MW lithium-ion battery project currently being built in Australia by Tesla and Neoen. Drax first announced plans to convert its 2,500 acre coal-fired plant – which is the largest in the U.K. and one of the largest in Europe – earlier this year, and has already switched three of the six units from coal to biomass.
