The Challenge: Navigating the Energy Transition
The UK’s energy transition is putting immense strain on local electricity networks. As we shift to electric vehicles and heat pumps, our grid struggles to balance intermittent renewable generation with rising demand. Without flexible, local battery energy storage, we risk continued reliance on fossil fuels to fill the gaps.
Battery Box solves this by deploying modular, local battery energy storage that fits into just two car parking spaces. By transforming underutilised land into vital energy assets, we can store excess renewables and release power locally when needed. This approach strengthens community grid resilience while maximising the value of your land.

PROJECT 3
Element Box
These projects will save:
480 TONNES
of CO2 per year
14,400 TONNES
of CO2 over the project’s lifetime
They will generate:
£90,000
of rental income to the local authority over the projects lifetime
£900,000
investment into South Staffordshire’s energy networks
““Adding these Battery Boxes to our estate just made complete sense.
Imre Tolgyesi
It generates income, reduces carbon, and helps deliver our Climate Change Action
Plan. We identified sites in commercial locations to minimise disruption. The installs
were hassle free, with the team at AMP providing a complete turnkey solution.”

Fight climate change
Every Battery Box stores excess renewable energy so we can use it when we need it most. This means we can reduce the carbon footprint of our electricity system.
One box saves c.160 tonnes of CO2 per year
By maximising UK renewable energy sources, we can reduce reliance on imported oil and gas.
Back local networks and prevent power cuts
Renewable energy stored in Battery Boxes will be used to support local businesses, communities and organisations, and reduce the risk of localised power cuts.
