The Benefits

The Government recently announced that we must scale up energy storage technologies quickly so that they can play a vital role in decarbonising the electricity system by 2030.
By providing up to 900MW of storage, Dodd’s Wood BESS would facilitate a greater use of renewable energy, by balancing out fluctuations in supply and demand within the Grid system.
In turn, this would reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and provide the local community with greater energy security, using homegrown sources and helping to reduce energy bills.

Investment – Dodd’s Wood BESS will deliver an investment source to South Norfolk for more than 40 years, all while supporting the transition to a net zero future and ultimately cheaper bills.
Community Benefits – The construction of the BESS will look to provide employment opportunities for local people including apprenticeships and partnerships with local contractors. Elmya RPC have also committed to the creation of a community fund, to serve the local community through the life cycle of the project. We are interested in hearing your views on where we might be able to contribute this fund, please get in touch via our ‘Contact’ page.

We are committed to enhancing the local environment and protecting local wildlife.
Our development will achieve a minimum 10% Biodiversity Net Gain through planting additional hedgerows and trees, providing diverse habitats that will create new, resilient ecological networks.
