Technical FAQs 4

What is a battery energy storage system?

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) secures electrical energy from renewable and non-renewable sources and collects and saves it in rechargeable batteries for use at a later date. When energy is needed, it is released from the BESS to power demand to lessen any disparity between energy demand and energy generation.

What is Zenob's new battery energy storage system?

18th March 2025 – London, UK Zenobē, the battery storage and fleet electrification specialist, has today announced one of the largest standalone battery storage financings in Europe for its latest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Eccles, Scotland, which is set to go live in early 2027.

Will the Eccles battery save consumers £309 million?

Over the next 15 years, the Eccles battery is projected to save consumers £309 million by reducing the need to pay wind generators to switch off – known as curtailment costs – and prevent approximately 4.9 million tonnes of CO2 being emitted over 15 years.

How much CO2 does a battery charge?

The Carbon intensity of imported energy to charge the battery is assumed at the 2024 national average of 150g CO2 e/kWh This is a conservative assumption considering the high penetration of renewable generation and otherwise curtailed power in Scotland when the battery would charge.
