NeoDyne has successfully delivered a major milestone in the UK’s renewable energy journey with the completion of the Botley Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Hampshire. In collaboration with
Schneider Electric, NeoDyne provided the electrical design and SCADA monitoring system for the 50MW facility, which will supply stable, renewable electricity to the National Grid and support the UK’s ‘net zero’ ambitions.
The Botley BESS project, led by
Suir Engineering, showcases the power of strategic partnerships and advanced technology. Schneider Electric’s cutting-edge solutions — including eTAP software for digital twin modelling and the Modicon M580 PLC — enabled NeoDyne to implement real-time operational visibility, fault diagnostics, and secure data logging across all major subsystems. The Botley station will provide stable electricity generated from renewable sources to the National Grid, contributing to the Government mandated goal of ‘net zero’ by 2050.
Matt Close, head of UK operations at NeoDyne, said: “Delivering the Botley BESS project is a testament to our team’s technical strength and commitment to future-proofing industry. We are proud to play a role in advancing clean energy infrastructure in the UK.”
NeoDyne’s collaboration with Schneider Electric dates back to 2020, when its Ireland division became a Certified Alliance Integration Partner. Since expanding into the UK, NeoDyne has continued to grow its footprint, with a new office recently opened in Richmond, Virginia, USA — marking the next chapter in its global partnership with Schneider Electric.
