Key benefits:
The proposed Deptford Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System(BESS) project will allow the generation, storage and release of energy for the entire grid. Contributing to local and national energy targets with additional benefits to include:

• Solar PV generates electricity renewably, without emitting greenhouse gases or air pollutants.
• Battery Storage will smooth out the variability associated with the delivery of solar, by storing excess energy when the sun is shining, and delivering it when the opposite is happening;
• Battery Storage will ensure reliability and resilience of connection, by providing backup power during disruptions;
• Battery storage reduces Environmental Impact via the integration of more solar because it enables electricity from distributed energy sources to be saved for a later, offsetting the need for building new pollution-emitting peak power plants;
