We’re delighted to announce that ACS Construction Group has been appointed as Principal Contractor by Statera Energy for the significant enabling works package on their landmark project to construct a nominal 680 MW / 1360 MWh Battery Energy Storage Plant at Carrington, Manchester.

Our scope of works includes the delivery of two key packages:

Package 1 – Early Works: Establishing site access, temporary haul roads, a culvert crossing, and the construction compound with welfare and office foundations, utilities installation, and initial management of invasive species.

Package 2 – Development Platform: Delivery of a fully engineered construction platform to support future stages of the project, incorporating major earthworks, slope stabilisation and retention structures, site drainage installation, and capping works across the platform.

Works commenced in early September, with site establishment and a substantial remediation and earthworks programme now underway to prepare the brownfield site, formerly associated with the Carrington Power Station, for the next phase of construction.

This appointment reinforces ACS’s growing capability and proven track record in the energy and renewables sector, where we continue to provide sustainable civil engineering solutions that support the UK’s transition to low-carbon energy infrastructure.

Statera Energy is an ideal partner for ACS, innovative, forward-thinking, and committed to delivering projects that will strengthen the resilience of the national grid. We’re excited to be working collaboratively to bring this strategically important energy storage facility to life.
