Strategically located to the south east of Camblesforth village and immediately west of Drax Golf Club, the New Oak Energy Storage project will sit near the Drax Substation and provide 200 megawatt-hours of storage capacity – enough to power 220,000 homes for two hours. By storing excess energy during periods of low demand and releasing it back into the grid at peak times, the battery system will support local and national sustainability targets, contributing to a cleaner, more resilient energy network.
