The UK has advanced its push to decarbonising the built environment with a record £1bn investment in the country’s largest battery energy storage system in Yorkshire. The project will provide electricity for 800,000 homes and represents a significant milestone for environmental sustainability in construction. As energy resilience becomes a critical part of sustainable building design, such infrastructure demonstrates how large-scale projects can reduce the carbon footprint of construction...

The UK has secured major investment in large-scale battery energy storage systems, underlining the vital role of energy resilience in achieving net zero carbon goals. These storage projects directly support the decarbonising of the built environment by balancing renewable supply and demand. The ability to store energy generated from low carbon infrastructure is becoming central to creating net zero Whole Life Carbon strategies in regional and national grids, reducing the carbon footprint of...

The UK is directing major investment into clean energy infrastructure, signalling a stronger commitment to environmental sustainability in construction. The National Wealth Fund is backing the country’s largest battery energy storage system in Yorkshire, designed to enhance grid stability and support uptake of renewable energy. This reflects a wider focus on sustainable construction and its role in achieving net zero Whole Life Carbon across the built environment. Such projects are no longer...

The UK’s largest battery energy storage project has secured financial close with £200m of backing from the National Wealth Fund. The 2.8GW Thorpe Marsh facility is expected to power more than 785,000 homes and support the resilience of the renewable energy grid. Large-scale battery infrastructure is increasingly viewed as essential to sustainable building design, enabling energy-efficient buildings and reducing the carbon footprint of construction projects powered by renewable sources. In...

The UK government’s National Wealth Fund has committed up to £200 million for the Thorpe Marsh battery energy storage system in Yorkshire, taking the project’s total investment to more than £1 billion. With capacity to supply clean electricity for over 785,000 homes, this flagship infrastructure demonstrates how sustainable construction integrates energy resilience into the built environment. By supporting renewable generation with large-scale storage, the project addresses embodied...

The UK’s largest battery energy storage project at Thorpe Marsh has secured £1bn in investment, enabling renewable energy distribution to more than 785,000 homes. This development highlights the critical role of sustainable infrastructure in reducing the carbon footprint of construction and strengthening the transition to net zero whole life carbon in national energy systems. Large-scale storage capacity supports low carbon design in electricity supply, underpinning cleaner operations for...

Recent investment in large-scale battery energy storage systems signals a decisive shift in how the built environment supports a cleaner grid. The Thorpe Marsh project in Yorkshire, now backed with £200m from the National Wealth Fund, will provide vital resilience for low carbon design and future net zero carbon buildings. Delivering stable energy at this scale underpins resource efficiency in construction supply chains, reducing the carbon footprint of construction by aligning green...

The UK’s largest battery energy storage project has secured £200 million in government funding, underscoring the role of green infrastructure in supporting a low carbon economy. Such projects are increasingly influencing sustainable building design by enabling construction to run on cleaner grids and helping deliver net zero carbon buildings with greater resilience. Large-scale storage capacity reduces the carbon footprint of construction supply chains by shifting reliance away from...

The UK’s push towards large-scale battery energy storage is reshaping environmental sustainability in construction and infrastructure. The £1bn Thorpe Marsh project in Yorkshire, set to become the country’s largest battery storage scheme, will support grid resilience and secure renewable energy supply for major developments. Alongside this, the Jones Bros project in Newport is advancing another of the UK’s largest schemes, underscoring the critical role of green infrastructure in the...

The UK construction sector is moving towards large-scale sustainable energy infrastructure. The £200m financing of the Thorpe Marsh battery project, backed by the National Wealth Fund, demonstrates investment needed to stabilise renewable power supply and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Battery energy storage systems support the resilience of power infrastructure that underpins energy-efficient buildings and green construction projects, enabling future-proofed grids aligned with net zero...
