Kent’s Cleve Hill Solar Park, officially commissioned in July 2025, is now operational with 373 MW of solar PV and 150 MW battery storage, making it the UK’s largest hybrid renewable project Energy-Storage. The site includes up to 700 MWh of storage capacity and connects via the 400 kV National Grid substation serving London Array.
Cleve Hill demonstrates how large‑scale integration of solar and storage enables dispatchable electricity and grid balancing. The project is now a national benchmark for strategic energy infrastructure.
For Crucial Energy, Cleve Hill offers case‑study material: aligning solar generation with storage enhances power resilience, unlocks revenue stacks, and supports heavy industrial or commercial energy flows. Understanding its integration model can help shape future client proposals.
