Clay Tye Battery Energy Storage Site
Situated in Essex, Clay Tye boasts a total capacity of 99MW/198MWh, solidifying its status as Europe’s joint-largest operational project of its kind. With this capacity, Clay Tye can power over 300,000 UK homes for two-hour intervals.
Equipped with 52 Tesla Megapack lithium-ion batteries and Tesla’s Autobidder AI software for efficient project management and energy capacity sharing, Clay Tye integrates seamlessly into the UK Power Networks distribution network using 26 of our 4.2MVA 33kV/480V-480V Wilson T2 Ecotrans® Distribution Transformers and 2 of 150kVA 33kV/415V Auxiliary Transformers.
Wilson distribution transformers were the perfect choice for the project. They are Ecodesign compliant, custom-designed to satisfy the project's needs, integrate perfectly with Tesla Megapacks, and are manufactured in accordance with internationally recognised standards (BS and IEC). This makes them the ideal choice for large-scale battery energy storage projects.
