A £300m energy storage plant that could create hundreds of jobs is being built in Carrington - and its backers say shows Greater Manchester is leading the way in helping the UK go green.
The plant will store power generated by wind turbines - and then release it back into the grid when needed. It means excess electricity generated when it’s windy won’t go to waste, while stored energy can be used when turbines aren’t spinning. "This new plant will deliver renewable energy to homes and business across our region and bring world-leading technology, jobs, skills and investment to Greater Manchester. I’m delighted to welcome Highview Power.”Richard Butland, co-Founder & CEO of Highview Power said: “There is no energy transition without storage.
When power is needed, the air is pumped to high pressure, heated and expanded. The resulting high pressure gas drives a turbine that generates energy and sends it out of the plant again. No fuel is burned during the process. “That’s why I’m delighted that Centrica is investing in Highview Power. Not only are we bringing capital to the table to support rollout and expansion, but we’ll be also sharing our expertise on the energy transition and power storage. Through partnerships like this we can manage the challenges net zero might present while providing cleaner, greener power to customers.”
