Kona’s management team have developed and constructed some of the UK’s largest battery storage projects. The team knows what it takes to ensure a project is developed and built in a professional and expedient manner.

The UK has a legally binding commitment to become net zero by 2050. The deployment of large scale energy storage projects is critical to this commitment , whilst ensuring our electricity system remains affordable and reliable.

Battery storage systems are modular and fully integrated within containers which look like shipping containers. There will also be a requirement for ancillary electricity infrastructure, such as a high voltage transformer.

2-4 hours.

Kona Energy works with the UK’s leading energy storage financiers, equipment suppliers and consultants to develop the UK’s optimal battery storage projects.

Lithium batteries are mined which carries an environmental impact, this is offset by the many benefits of increasing the utilisation and penetration of renewables in the UK.

The storage of renewable electricity reduces our dependence on fossil fuels such as gas & coal. Excess renewable generation is stored rather than going to waste and can then be discharged at times of peak demand.

No, unlike some solar and wind projects, batteries are unsubsidised.

There are about 50 projects across the UK in operation, totalling around 1GW.

The UK needs around 50GW by 2050 in order to hit our net zero targets.

Kona has three large projects in development. The first has secured planning consent and will be one of the largest projects in Europe when built.
