The Water industry within the UK is of critical importance, and is a major power user which as well as the need for continual upgrades as well as the need to reduce energy consumption and achieve net zero carbon emissions. Many existing sites face similar problems of aging assets and infrastructure, complex brownfield tie-ins to upgrade existing facilities and a forward drive to add in new renewable power and battery storage to existing facilities. Battery storage scheme represent some interesting development opportunities for WTW / STW sites, as they can provide significant increases to site security, as well as helping manage loads and demand growth.
