Pivot Power to build electric vehicle charging network29 May 2018

Pivot Power has announced plans to build a 2GW network of grid-scale batteries and rapid electric-vehicle charging stations across the UK.

The £1.6 billion programme will see Pivot Power developing 45 sites around the UK, installing grid-scale 50MW batteries at National Grid electricity sub-stations connected directly to the extra-high-voltage transmission system.

The network will be the world’s largest, storing enough electricity to supply 235,000 average homes for a day. Sites have been chose near towns and major roads where they can also power rapid EV charging stations.

Pivot Power aims to have operational batteries at 10 sites within 18 months, with a site on the south coast possibly up and running by mid-2019.
