40-year project lifespan
Construction period was approximately 4 months
Fully reversible development
Additional trees & hedgerows planted
Significant Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
Community benefit fund for local causes
Contributing to the UK's Net Zero target
Bacup OL13 0BW, UK
This site has been selected after a detailed feasibility process, considering several key factors, including: grid capacity, topography, land availability, residential amenity, environmental designations, heritage assets, ecology & biodiversity, flood risk, agricultural land quality and landscape character.
We understand that fire safety is a critical concern for communities near Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We want to reassure you that we have implemented the highest safety standards to protect the community, environment, and our personnel.
A robust, safety-first approach is taken to all BESS design at BOOM Power. We apply the most up-to-date regulations and guidance on BESS safety and supplement this with the support of leading technology suppliers, under the supervision of independent industry experts and in liaison with local fire services.
The visual impact of the BESS will be minimised through careful siting, preserving public rights of way, trees and hedgerows, with additional screening to maintain the rural aesthetic. Over time, the site will become a wildlife haven, designed by a landscape architect to integrate seamlessly with the countryside.
As a temporary, reversible development, the site will be restored to its original condition after 40 years, preventing alternative development without a new planning application.
We are committed to sustainability and work with licensed specialists to recycle all components of the solar farm. Through this project, we’re providing clean energy while enhancing local biodiversity, protecting habitats, and promoting long-term environmental health. We’re proud to contribute to the solution for the climate crisis and a more sustainable future for the UK.
