Project Overview

Hawkeridge is a 7.5MW peaking plant, developed by Gridsource from first principles.

During the development phase, Gridsource managed all aspects such as site identification, landowner engagement, grid connection feasibility, engagement including application, land/ legal agreements, planning survey / application co-ordination plus community engagement, which resulted in receiving full planning approval during 2023.

Balancing Systems

The peaker can provide balancing services to the local distribution network. If they require more capacity at times of need, then projects such as Hawkeridge will be called upon to provide this electricity and can achieve full generation output within 2 minutes of receiving a remotely operated despatch to start signal to the grid when required.
