Pathfinder Clean Energy (PACE), a UK-headquartered international developer of utility-scale solar and battery storage projects, has received planning for its latest project – a 100MW battery energy storage system located in Warwickshire, UK.
The proposed battery scheme, known as Seeney BESS, is designed to store enough energy to meet the demands of approximately 230,000 homes for up to four hours. This project will help to accelerate the transition to clean energy, enhance grid stability, and provide essential backup during periods of high demand.
Rob Denman, Managing Director at PACE, stated: “During the committee’s discussion, one Member highlighted how their children had expressed genuine interest in the PACE proposal, viewing it as a positive step for the area through the introduction of advanced technologies. North Warwickshire Council has declared a climate emergency and acknowledges the need to reduce the carbon footprint of its operations and services. The Seeney BESS project will be instrumental in supporting both local and national net-zero ambitions by delivering essential flexibility to the energy grid. We at PACE are encouraged by the constructive community engagement and the consultations we’ve held so far. As with all our initiatives, we remain committed to delivering meaningful biodiversity enhancements, while addressing the critical, interlinked challenges of climate change, energy resilience, and biodiversity decline.”
