Loudwater Battery Energy Storage System
Loudwater is a 40MW/55MWh Battery Energy Storage System which Eku Energy is delivering near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, England. Construction is due to commence in early 2024 and the battery is expected to be operational in Q4 2024.
Once complete, the battery will provide vital flexibility to enable more renewable generation and increase the resilience of the UK electricity network.
To meet net zero by 2050, the UK Government has committed to decarbonise the electricity system by 2035. Battery storage is a critical enabler of this transition, helping to store and shift renewable generation to times of day when it is most needed, while helping to balance electricity supply and demand second-by-second.
At Eku, we take community engagement and benefits sharing seriously. We want to ensure that our Williamsdale BESS grants program has long-lasting, positive impact on the community around Tuggeranong.
We therefore established the following Investment Principles to guide the program and support the following initiatives:
[A] Employment and education: Initiatives that support educational or employment outcomes (e.g. literacy; numeracy; science, technology, engineering and maths).
[B] Social connectedness: Initiatives that support community connectedness, wellbeing and livability.
[C] Environmental: Initiatives that support or drive sustainability and environmental outcomes.
