Anglo Renewables has submitted a planning application to Dartford Council for the development of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on agricultural land near Greenhithe, Kent. The proposal involves the installation of over 100 battery units housed in storage containers on a 3.7-hectare site off Bean Lane.
Key Details
Location: Greenhithe, Kent (near Bean Lane)
Site size: 3.7 hectares (currently farmland)
Development footprint: ~50% of the land
Application submitted: April 29, 2025
System: Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
Function: Store renewable energy and feed it into the grid during peak demand
Developer’s Position
Anglo Renewables emphasizes the reversible nature of the project, claiming no permanent loss of agricultural land. They argue the system supports energy efficiency by preventing waste and increasing grid flexibility.
If approved, the project would join a growing number of BESS developments across the UK, which are seen as critical infrastructure for supporting renewable energy integration and net-zero targets.
