New all-electric town in Kent strikes deal to supply power back to the grid
The developers of Otterpool Park, a new all-electric garden town in Kent, have reached an agreement with a leading energy infrastructure company to design and operate a "smart" energy grid for the town. The 8,500 homes in Otterpool Park will be powered entirely by solar energy and batteries, generating enough renewable energy to potentially supply power back to the national grid. This innovative project aims to create one of Britain's first all-electric towns with minimal reliance on fossil fuels, demonstrating the potential for renewable energy to play a significant role in the country's power supply. The smart energy grid will allow the town's households to function as a virtual power plant, contributing to the broader goal of reducing carbon emissions and transitioning towards a more sustainable energy future.
