A gesture for ‘green’ energy in the UK

in In cooperation with WEX EngineeringJaguar Land Rover is committed to developing a renewable electricity storage system that aims to become one of the largest in the UK.

This system is designed to Collecting electricity produced by solar farms and windmills Which are increasingly increasing in number, and consist of several storage units. Each unit in turn consists of a pack of 30 batteries from models such as the Jaguar I-Pace, all of which will be connected to the grid of the state electricity company National Grid.

As JLR’s statement indicates, there will indeed be a first storage unit with a maximum capacity of 2.5 MWh, consisting of batteries recovered from several I-Pace prototypes and test units. The goal is to achieve storage that will allow, before the end of the year, the accumulation of up to 7.5 megawatts per hour, which is enough to light 750 homes. British for a whole day.
