Normanton Energy Reserve

We are seeking to develop a utility scale grid management facility using battery energy storage technology.

The project is located on land east of the A47 to the northeast of Earl Shilton. We have now submitted our planning application to Blaby District Council.

This project website is to keep members of the local community updated and to facilitate feedback, leading on from the public consultation undertaken in August and September 2022.
