Alistair Houghton Business Live Editor Highview Power's proposed energy storage plant at Carrington, Greater Manchester (Image: Highview Power) A £300m energy storage plant that could create hundreds of jobs is being built in Carrington - and its backers say shows Greater Manchester is leading the way in helping the UK go green.
Failed to load Related. Planning permission for the battery-storage facility was granted by Trafford Council. The council’s leader, Tom Ross, said that the battery storage and green-hydrogen schemes would put Trafford and Greater Manchester “at the forefront of the UK’s energy transition”.
Greater Manchester Metro Mayor Andy Burnham said: “My vision is for Greater Manchester to be a leader in the green transition - and Highview Power’s decision to build one of the world’s largest long duration energy storage facilities at Carrington is a huge boost for the region.
Highview Power has been backed by energy giant Centrica and the UK Infrastructure Bank to build the first commercial-scale liquid air energy storage (LAES) plant in the UK, at Carrington. The company says building work will start immediately and the plant, which got initial planning consent in 2021, should be operational by early 2026.
No fuel is burned during the process. Highview says its tech can store energy for longer than current batteries can. It says that by creating a network of storage plants across the UK, starting in Carrington, it can help provide a stable supply of green energy to the National Grid.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
