Ørsted has made the final investment decision on a battery energy storage system. The Tesla battery energy storage system will be installed at the same site as the onshore converter station for Ørsted’s Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm in Swardeston, near Norwich, Norfolk, in the eastern part of England.
With a capacity of 600 MWh and a 300 MW power rating, the storage system will store excess electricity generated during windy and sunny periods, helping to balance the grid by discharging it later when needed. It is expected to be operational by the end of 2026.
