Modern infrastructure supporting the clean energy transition The proposed site will be accessed from Crabtree Road and will include a 150 MWbattery energy storage system and associated development. In designing the proposed layout of the proposal, the experienced project team have considered key factors including operational performance, health and safety and environmental protections. When submitted, the planning application will be subject to all relevant environmental and safety assessments. When the project is in place, operation and maintenance checks will be conducted regularly (remotely and onsite). Project benefits The Crabtree Road Energy Storage Project will involve a substantial private investment in the local area and will create employment opportunities during the construction phase. In broader terms, it will make a direct contribution to Northern Ireland’s efforts to combat climate change and reduce our reliance on harmful fossil fuels. The project will help to deliver the Northern Ireland Executive’s target of at least 70% of electricity from renewables by 2030, and as a result will help to lower the region’s carbon emissions. Next steps When finalised, the planning application for the project will be submitted to Newry, Mourne and Down District Council in July 2022. The council’s planning department will then process the application and it is expected that a decision will be reached within six months of the submission. In the context of the urgent need to integrate battery storage facilities in the electricity grid, Newbridge Energy is aiming to have the project built and operational by the end of 2023.
