About Spennymoor Greener Grid Park
The Spennymoor Greener Grid Park is a proposed innovative project located in the north-east of England. Following our local consultation, we have now submitted a planning application to Durham Council. This has been given the application reference number DM/23/00745/FPA and is available to view and comment on here.
About Greener Grid Parks
A pioneering project to help achieve zero carbon emissions.
Large electrical machines with flywheels (called synchronous compensators) can replace the spinning turbines of a traditional power station but without emitting any carbon dioxide.
It means that GB’s energy system will be able to handle increasing amounts of renewable energy without relying on coal and gas fired turbines.
Our projects promote the use of renewable technologies and reduce the need to use fossil fuel plants. This is why our projects are called Greener Grid Parks.
Why do we need Greener Grid Parks?
