NatPower is dedicated to supporting the UK’s transition to clean, secure, and affordable energy by developing large-scale energy storage solutions that enhance grid stability and renewable energy integration. With an ambitious goal of delivering over 60GWh of energy storage capacity across the country, NatPower aims to provide 20% of the UK’s total energy storage needs by 2040. This substantial contribution will help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, improve energy security, and enable a more resilient and sustainable power system that meets the growing demand for electricity.Beyond its role in energy infrastructure, NatPower prioritizes responsible project development by ensuring that each initiative is designed with careful consideration for the environment and local communities. The company actively engages with residents and stakeholders to create solutions that minimize environmental impact while maximizing local benefits. This includes implementing innovative designs that harmonize with natural landscapes, supporting biodiversity, and ensuring that projects contribute positively to the surrounding ecosystem.
Return on Investment (ROI)
Investors can expect an attractive ROI, with projected annual cash flows exceeding £2 million and an estimated ROI of 8% over the project's lifespan. Our revenue model is underpinned by long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and capacity payments, providing stable and predictable income streams.
Cash Flow Analysis
Rigorous cash flow analysis demonstrates robust financial performance, with steady cash inflows from energy sales offsetting operational expenses and debt service obligations, ensuring consistent dividend distributions to investors.
Risk Mitigation
We employ comprehensive risk management strategies, including diversified revenue streams, insurance coverage, and regulatory compliance, to mitigate investment risks and safeguard investor capital, providing peace of mind amidst market uncertainties.
BESS
Batteries minimize carbon footprints, with BYD ensuring recyclability and compliance with global standards.
Substation
A new substation on-site will facilitate seamless energy transfer between the BESS and the grid.
Planation
The design includes natural screening to reduce visibility from Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape.
