By Neil Speight

7th Dec 2021 | Local News

A PLAN has been submitted to Thurrock Council by the Intergen power company, which runs a small generating station at Coryton, to create a battery electricity storage site on adjacent land.

Intergen has previously wanted to use the site to create another generating operation but would now like to use the area for a storage station.

It functions by taking energy from the electricity grid when demand is low or supply high, and feeding it back on to the grid when demand is higher or supply lower.

The station be able to supply power to approximately 227,000 homes per year, or fully charge up to approximately 16,100 electric vehicles.
