500MW Grid-Scale BESS Project

United Kingdom
500MW
132kV Connection

End-to-end electrical design for one of the UK's largest battery energy storage projects, delivering a full electrical and protection design package for a 500MW grid-scale facility.

The Challenge

Coordinating the electrical design for a 500MW facility required managing an exceptionally large scope of interconnected systems — from the battery containers through to grid-level protection — while adhering to tight programme milestones set by the EPC contractor.

Our Approach

Ecovoltec led the complete primary and secondary electrical design, developing an integrated protection and control scheme suited to the scale and complexity of the project. The team worked closely with the EPC contractor and equipment vendors to ensure design continuity from concept through to construction-ready deliverables.

The Outcome

Full construction-ready drawing package delivered on programme. The project stands as one of the largest BESS facilities in the UK and a flagship reference for Ecovoltec's capability at grid scale.
