Powering the future with solar and storage

East Park Energy

East Park Energy is a proposed solar and battery energy storage project of up to 400 MW, being developed by Brockwell Storage and Solar. The site is located to the north-west of St Neots and will connect to the National Grid at Eaton Socon substation.

Project overview

Clean power, smarter energy

The East Park Energy project combines utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) generation with battery energy storage on a single site. The integration of these technologies enables renewable electricity to be generated during the day and stored for use when demand is higher, helping to balance the grid and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

The project is located to the north-west of St Neots, close to the Bedfordshire-Cambridgeshire border, and will connect to the National Grid at Eaton Socon substation.
