Now under construction near Staythorpe Power Station in Nottinghamshire, this nationally significant development will strengthen the UK’s electricity grid by storing renewable energy at scale, helping ensure that clean power is available exactly when it’s needed.
This hub is here to keep you, our neighbours and community partners, informed, involved, and connected throughout the project. You’ll find updates, key contacts, events, and details about how we’re working to deliver lasting local benefits.
We know that major infrastructure projects must earn the trust of the communities that host them. That’s why we’ve committed to open communication, local presence, and a named team who are here to listen and respond. From our first community meeting through construction and into operation, we aim to build relationships based on honesty, respect, and shared understanding.
Clarity means no surprises. We’re committed to sharing accurate, timely information throughout construction and beyond, including what’s happening, when, and why. Our Community Hub, newsletters, signage and on-site teams are all designed to make it easy for local residents to get answers, find updates, and see how the project is progressing.
The Staythorpe BESS isn’t just about clean energy, it’s about delivering lasting value to the local area. From biodiversity improvements, school workshops to our Community Benefit Scheme, our goal is to leave a positive legacy.
Here’s where we will post updates on communications and construction site activity information.
