Battery storage projects that just committed to a date.

Britain has far more storage proposed than will ever be built. What separates a project that will be procured from one that will not is a binding milestone with a date on it. This page counts only those.

A region comes from the postcode of the site or centre. Where the record has none, the card is counted as not placed rather than guessed.

By month

A month gets its own page once it holds 5 or more cards.

Companies are named here a month after their card is published; the first in this sector appear on 21 October 2026.

How this page counts

What is counted
A storage project that has gained its consent together with a firm connection or delivery date, or that has passed a dated commitment milestone.
What is left out
Projects that are only proposed, applications still in planning, and projects whose date has lapsed.

Why it matters to a supplier

  • A dated milestone is the point at which transformers, switchgear and main plant are ordered, and some of that equipment takes a year to arrive.
  • Megawatts committed by region show where the grid is being reinforced first, and where civils and electrical contractors will be busiest.
  • Counting only committed projects avoids the usual trap of storage statistics: pipelines that are mostly wishful thinking.

Questions

How is this different from a list of battery storage projects?
Most lists count every project ever proposed. This page counts only projects that have committed to a date in the last weeks, which is a much smaller and much more useful number.
Do hybrid solar and storage sites count here?
Yes, and on the solar page too. A site that builds both needs both kinds of supplier.

The cards behind these numbers

On Stanfell, every card in this sector carries the figure, the date, the company behind it and a reading for your trade, the day it is published.
