NeoDyne and Schneider Electric have successfully delivered a major milestone in the UK’s renewable energy journey with the completion of the Botley Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Hampshire.
NeoDyne provided the electrical design and SCADA monitoring system for the 50 MW facility, which will supply stable, renewable electricity to the National Grid and support the UK’s net zero ambitions.
The Botley BESS project, led by Suir Engineering, showcases the power of strategic partnerships and advanced technology. Schneider Electric’s cutting-edge solutions—including eTAP software for digital twin modelling and the Modicon M580 PLC—enabled NeoDyne to implement real-time operational visibility, fault diagnostics, and secure data logging across all major subsystems. The Botley station will provide stable electricity generated from renewable sources to the National Grid, contributing to the government mandated goal of net zero by 2050.
“Delivering the Botley BESS project is a testament to our team’s technical strength and commitment to future-proofing industry,” said Matt Close, Head of UK Operations at NeoDyne. “We’re proud to play a role in advancing clean energy infrastructure in the UK.”
NeoDyne’s collaboration with Schneider Electric dates back to 2020, when its Ireland division became a Certified Alliance Integration Partner. Since expanding into the UK, NeoDyne has continued to grow its footprint, with a new office recently opened in Richmond, Virginia, USA—marking the next chapter in its global partnership with Schneider Electric.
“Our Alliance SI Partner Program is designed to empower system integrators like NeoDyne to deliver smarter, more sustainable industrial automation solutions,” said Adrian Bailey, Digital Plant and Automation Key Account Manager at Schneider Electric. “NeoDyne’s expertise across sectors like life sciences, food and beverage, water, and energy makes them a valuable partner in driving digital transformation.”
