February 16, 2026

THE site of a former power station will see a new use as a renewable energy store after a council green-lighted plans.

‘The plans are for the construction and operation of a 50MW “long-duration” — energy-storage facility at the site of the former Barry power station.

‘The application reads: “The rationale for the proposed development is to deliver a new long-duration energy-storage facility, which will improve the stability of the national grid electricity network and facilitate greater use of and reliance upon renewable energy sources.”

It continues: “The former power station site benefits from existing electrical infrastructure, making it a prime location for the delivery of further energy-storage development.”
