The Challenge..

The Carrington Battery Energy Storage project required the transformation of a complex brownfield site, formerly associated with Manchester’s Carrington Power Station, into a stable and fully prepared development platform capable of supporting a 680 MW / 1360 MWh energy storage facility.

Our Solution..

ACS was appointed by Statera Energy as Principal Contractor to deliver a significant enabling works package. This landmark project forms a key part of the UK’s transition toward resilient, low-carbon energy infrastructure.

ACS’s scope of works is structured around two primary packages.

Package 1 – Early Works

Establishment of site access
Construction of temporary haul roads
Installation of a culvert crossing
Creation of the main construction compound
Welfare and office foundations
Installation of site utilities
Initial identification and management of invasive species

Package 2 – Development Platform

Major earthworks across the brownfield site
Slope stabilisation works
Installation of retention structures
Site-wide drainage installation
Capping works across the development platform

The Result..

Works commenced in early September 2025, with site establishment and a substantial
remediation and earthworks programme now underway to prepare the former Carrington
Power Station site for the next phase of construction.

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.
