PWA Planning has received approval for a 400MWh battery storage project on the former Avondale Nursery site in West Lancashire, despite objections from Lathom Parish Council regarding its Green Belt location. The facility, which will consist of 66 battery containers and connect at 85MW, aims to enhance the electricity network's resilience and facilitate renewable energy integration, while also contributing to local job creation and ecological improvements. The project is expected to operate for 40 years before decommissioning.
