What is required for battery storage? An expanse of land, preferably near a grid connection. Landowners with suitable land may find themselves being contacted by developers interested in using their land for battery storage.
Leasing land for battery storage is paid on a rent per megawatt in the region of £1,800 per mega-watt, providing a potential income of £25,000-£30,000 per acre. The key to opening a battery storage opportunity is the grid connection
This includes development land for solar, wind, electric vehicle (EV) charging and battery storage. In fact many landowners are actively looking to sell or, more often than not, lease their land to renewable energy providers.
We''re looking for locations for our solar and battery storage investments. If you''re a landowner that wants to join us in accelerating the UK''s low-carbon transition, we''d love to talk to

Battery systems come in different forms, from containerised units to purpose-built buildings (battery barns), with possible rents of £2,000-£4,000/MW installed, depending on location.

Battery storage takes up the least space (1-5 acres depending on the output of the development), with solar photovoltaic taking up the most (3-5 acres per MW of installed plant). If you are not decided on a particular type of plant we can assess what will be most suitable for the land you are wanting to lease to us.
By leasing land for an energy storage asset, landowners can secure a long-term, stable income. They are able to diversify their income streams while playing a role in the UK''s journey to net zero.

Developments for battery energy storage typically involve an option agreement for lease of a portion of land to a third-party energy developer, who is responsible for the installation and operation of the battery storage on the land.
In an ideal scenario, the grid connection would be located on the land in question as they are considered more favourable in planning, while also reducing the cost of an extended cable run. Properties that qualify for battery storage leasing are ideally located adjacent to a substation.
These can charge from the grid when there’s an abundance of renewable electricity during peak generation periods and then discharge back onto the grid when there’s a shortfall in supply. By leasing land for an energy storage asset, landowners can secure a long-term, stable income.
Properties that qualify for battery storage leasing are ideally located adjacent to a substation. If the connection is near your land but not on it, a third party agreement may be required, adding complexity and costs to the developer. However, this will not necessarily negate land from being selected for battery development.
Landowners are urged to think carefully before signing up with developers seeking secure sites for large-scale battery storage systems. The concept is similar to diesel generator schemes and is driven by a National Grid project to balance electricity supplies during times of peak demand.
One of the largest challenges with renewable energy generation is that it’s intermittent and does not always generate electricity in line with periods of high demand. A key technology in managing this gap between generation and demand are Battery Energy Storage Sites (BESS).
There are certain criteria which make the ideal Energy storage development site. The Anglo Renewables team are able to quickly determine the viability of a site with a few important details. Therefore, we would love to hear from you if your land fulfils some or all of the following; Low grade agricultural land, grade 3 or below, or brownfield.
