Shell signs for offtake from 100MW UK battery
Shell Energy Europe Limited (SEEL) has agreed a multi-year power offtake deal that enables the installation of the 100MW Minety power storage project in south-west England. It will be Europe’s biggest battery and is backed by China Huaneng Group together with Chinese sovereign wealth fund CNIC. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2020 and will enable SEEL and Shell subsidiary Limejump to use the battery for grid balancing and frequency response.
