Definition of ESS projects and utility-scale battery storage systems

ESS projects are utility-scale battery storage systems.  These projects are the enabling infrastructure that will support the continued growth of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, essential to the UK's stated target to reduce carbon emissions. They store excess energy generated by renewable energy sources and then release that stored energy back into the grid during peak hours when there is increased demand.
