A green energy company wants to build a £350 million battery energy storage compound in the heart of the Midlands.
Exagen has put in planning for a 19 acre site which it said could hold enough green energy to power 235,000 homes for two solid hours.
It said, pending approval, it would be 10 times bigger than typical battery storage sites, storing spare energy from wind and solar which it would release when the wind stops blowing and the sun stops shining.
