Centrica announced that work is set to start next month on the construction of one of the world’s largest battery storage facilities at the site of the former Roosecote power station in Barrow, England

Construction of the 49MW facility was confirmed in December 2016 as part of a £180m investment program into new flexible power plants across the U.K.

Work will start on site in early March and is expected to take around 20 months, entering operation in winter 2018.
