A renewable energy company has put forward plans to build a battery storage facility in Catsfield, East Sussex.
In an application to Rother District Council, Elgin Energy EsCo Ltd asked for planning permission to erect a facility containing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on land to the south of the B2204.
It would take energy from National Grid at times of excess power generation, store it and then feed it back into the system at times of high need, reducing reliance on natural gas.
The plans include the creation of wetland, native hedgerow and tree planting, rural tree planting, reports the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
