Two new 50MW Energy Superhubs from Pivot Power
Pivot Power has announced two new large-scale battery storage facilities for grid balancing and EV charging, set to be built in Luton and Cornwall.
Known as Energy Superhubs, the 50 MW/100 MWh containerised lithium-ion battery facilities will be based on an existing model that Pivot Power has already deployed in Oxford. The sites in Sundon, Luton, and Indian Queens, Cornwall will connect into local National Grid substations, storing power during times of high generation and low demand, then releasing it back as required.

The Energy Superhubs are also designed specifically with EV charging in mind and are located in close proximity to transport arteries. Once the hubs are connected to the grid, Pivot Power plans to develop a private wire network to support multiple fast-charging sites within a five-to-ten-mile radius.
