STAYTHORPE BESS
BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM (BESS)
Ecap Renewables recently shared proposals for a battery energy storage
system (BESS), located south of Staythorpe Road, and west of National Grid’s
existing Staythorpe Substation.
We received feedback on initial proposals through a public consultation held
in June and July. Following this, we held a second round of consultation
to present our updated proposals to the public,
running from the Monday 8th to the Sunday 28th August 2022.
We have now submitted a planning application for our proposals
to Newark and Sherwood District Council and the application
will be available on the Council’s Planning Portal.
We would like to thank everyone for taking
the time to engage with us and provide feedback.
Please find the details to our Planning application here ...
About us
Your sustainable Energy Systems Partner
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in London, Ecap-Renewables has rapidly established a global footprint and a strong reputation for being at the very forefront of technological and commercial evolution within the renewable energy sector.
Since our inception, we have actively developed, constructed and either continue to manage, or have handed-over to our commercial partners, in excess of 2500MW of projects globally. We have an established track-record across three continents, Europe, Asia and Australasia and we are continuing to grow our business locally and globally.
Our dynamic and flexible team of renewable energy experts is backed by a global network of specialist partners, allowing Ecap-Renewables to provide in-depth analysis of a potential renewable energy project and the seamless development, funding and implementation of the full project lifecycle.
How we work
PARTNERSHIP FROM CONCEPT TO COMMERCIALISATION
If you have at least 50 acres of land that you think might be suitable for a renewable project, please get in touch with us. Subject to feasibility, we would propose renting your land to develop a solar PV farm and/or Energy Storage site over a term of 30 years, with substantial rent payments per acre, paid on a quarterly, in-advance basis.
After an initial, no-obligation assessment of viability, if the site is suitable, we will prepare a detailed proposal that covers every aspect of the development. We will survey the site, obtain and draw up necessary permissions and plans and take full responsibility for creating a profitable project plan. Our team of world-renowned experts will handle all aspects of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC).
Even before construction has been completed we will have been working with our partners to create a long term operations & management (O&M) plan that covers every aspect of the on-going operation, safety, efficiency and viability of the project.
Because we know every project is individual, our approach is always flexible, personal to your circumstances and transparent. Our extensive experience in the construction of solar farms is your guarantee of the robustness of our planning and the reliability of our implementation

EPC Management Services
TURNKEY PROJECT CO-ORDINATION
At Ecap-Renewables we provide a complete engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) management service, covering every step in the process of developing your project, from initial documentation to a carefully managed construction programme.
The outcome is the total coordination of a tightly controlled, turn-key project, delivered at the right price, in the right way, on-time and generating a guaranteed energy output.
EPC contracts are by their very nature, multi-facetted and can be very complex, which is why our experience in many different markets and environments and our established network of proven technical partners, are so important.
There are three key aspects that make up the perfect EPC plan Planning (and all the associated documentation and authorities), Project Management and oversight and the negotiation and management of appropriate Project Finance. Ecap-Renewables has the resources, experience and commitment to deliver the service you require in all three areas.
Our services include all of the following:

Power Purchase
WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE JOURNEY
With a rapidly maturing commercial marketplace and ever more evidence of the importance and value of renewable energy sources, there has been a move away from Govt subsidies, such as feed-in tariffs and premiums. But renewable energy projects often still need to raise significant capital from financial institutions and investors, who demand security for their loan or share participation.
A long-term (usually between 10 and 20 years) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), is a contractual agreement, negotiated between you the generator and the energy buyer or off-taker, to deliver a certain amount of solar or wind energy in future at an agreed price. The PPA provides the security of income generation that you and your investors need. But it needs to be carefully calibrated to the deliverable output and potential of your project.
Ecap-Renewables will be with you on every step of your PPA negotiation journey. We have the experience and the status to make sure that you get the right deal for your site. Not just for now but into the future.
We liaise with potential energy buyers, benchmark and forecast global energy supply prices and negotiate the protections and energy delivery supply guarantees that are appropriate for your specific project. We help you manage supply and finance risks, provide a complete legal framework for the agreement and the accounting systems that mean you and your investors can be confident of the returns that have been forecast.
LAND-OWNER’S FAQS
LEASING YOUR LAND TO ECAP-RENEWABLES
Unlike often fluctuating farmgate prices, renewable energy projects create a stable, index-linked income, paid over 30 to 40 years, at no cost to the landowner. We work with hundreds of farmers and landowners, providing them with quarterly rents at substantially-higher rates than are usually achieved through traditional farming activities.
We encourage the continued grazing of livestock such as sheep or chickens beneath our solar arrays and design biodiversity improvements into our projects to encourage wildlife.
