EnergyPathways plc provided an update on its MESH energy storage project, outlining its commitment to accelerating the UK's energy transition. The project focuses on hydrogen, long duration energy storage, and low-carbon flexible power solutions. EnergyPathways emphasized the critical role of hydrogen and compressed air storage technologies in reducing carbon emissions, enhancing energy security, and supporting the UK's shift to a sustainable net-zero economy. The MESH project is progressing well, aiming for a 25-year lifespan, 20 TWh of integrated energy storage capacity, and features like a 400 MW hydrogen and compressed air storage facility, which could be one of Europe's largest. Additionally, the project includes 700 MW of low-carbon flexible power, creating employment opportunities and aligning with the UK government's clean energy objectives. EnergyPathways' innovative approach to Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) is expected to significantly contribute to the UK's renewable energy integration and power supply security. CEO Ben Clube highlighted the project's potential to support the UK's net-zero and energy security ambitions, foster growth investment, and facilitate a 'Just Transition' for the offshore workforce. MESH is designed as a decarbonized, zero-emission facility powered by renewable wind farms, aiming to play a role in accelerating the UK's energy transition. The Company will continue engaging with stakeholders to drive collaboration and policy changes to support the growth of the UK's energy transition.
