EnergyPathways PLC (AIM:EPP) CEO Ben Clube spoke with Proactive about the company’s MESH project, a large-scale, long-duration energy storage solution designed to tackle the UK’s renewable energy constraints.
Clube highlighted the growing issue of wind curtailment, where excess power is wasted and wind farms are paid to shut down — a cost currently estimated at around £1bn a year and forecast to rise to £6–8bn by 2030. MESH aims to capture this surplus energy and release it when demand rises, helping to cut consumer bills and improve system efficiency.
The project has been designated nationally significant under Section 35, enabling a faster planning and approval process. MESH will combine compressed air, hydrogen and gas storage to deliver multi-day energy storage at a competitive cost.
Strategic partners, including Siemens Energy and Hazer are supporting the technology and hydrogen components. The project will also produce graphite as a byproduct of methane pyrolysis, offering a potential new revenue stream and supporting UK supply of battery-grade materials.
