EDF is set to optimise Gresham House Energy Storage Fund’s 50MW Wickham Market lithium-ion battery site.
The French energy giant will use its Powershift platform to optimise the asset to deliver optimal value and minimise battery degradation at the site in Suffolk, England.
Capable of storing 75MWh of energy, the site is one of the largest in the UK. The number of 50MW projects is growing however, with Gresham alone owning a number of largescale sites such as Thurcroft (50MW) and Red Scar (49MW).
In July, regulations were also changed to allow even larger storage projects, removing the limit of 50MW in England and 350MW in Wales. Already this has enabled the UK’s largest ever project to be announced, with InterGen’s 320MW battery set to dwarf others in the country.

The deal will see EDF, alongside controls partner Upside Energy, direct the battery’s energy flow into all markets including dynamic containment, generating revenue for the fund both within and outside National Grid relationships.
The agreement results from EDF’s track record of maximising revenues for two of the fund’s other assets, at Littlebrook and Rufford, which were signed up in September 2019.
EDF has also supported Gresham House Energy Storage Fund through the asset’s initial energisation period.
The company will operate the asset to deliver optimal value and minimise battery degradation.
