Project information
Broadclyst Energy Storage is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project of up to 125MW project approximately 1.5km east of Broadclyst village, in the district of East Devon. Its location was chosen for its proximity to the nearby National Grid Exeter 400kV substation, with the BESS designed to store zero-carbon renewable power from the grid when charging and displacing carbon-emitting generation when discharging.
Public consultation on the project took place in March and April 2025, following which all comments were considered before finalising our planning application which was submitted in May 2025. The planning application is now due to be considered by East Devon District Council and further details are available on the public planning register on their website.
