Pacific Green has made significant progress on the construction of the Sheaf Energy Park, a large-scale battery energy storage project in Kent, England. With a capacity of 249 MW / 373.5 MWh, this battery storage system is being developed in collaboration with Sosteneo and will be a key pillar for the UK energy grid.
Sheaf Energy Park installs key systems
The project is being built on the site of the former Richborough Power Station, a strategic site which, together with the already operational 100 MW Richborough Energy Park, will strengthen the transmission capacity of clean energy and has vital connections, such as the Nemo Link interconnector with Belgium and the Thanet offshore wind farm.
Following completion of factory acceptance testing, Pacific has installed 68 Power Conversion System (PCS) containers , essential for integrating storage with the grid. 135 containers of liquid-cooled LFP battery chemistry will be received shortly, following a “just-in-time” approach to ensure their optimization and effective connection.
Pacific Green reclaims land for Sheaf Park
In terms of environmental impact, Sheaf Park aims to generate a net biodiversity gain of 14.91% , thanks in part to the reclamation of 10,000 m² of contaminated land. This action not only contributes to the local ecosystem, but also reinforces Pacific’s commitment to sustainability.
Christo Hammes, Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the importance of the project as a symbol of the UK’s energy transition. “This project not only provides a strategic asset for the grid, but also represents our commitment to the future of energy storage,” he said.
With a planned energisation plan for next year, Sheaf Park will be a key part of optimising the flow of renewable energy in the UK , marking a significant step towards energy independence and emissions reduction.
