Masdar Switches On 35MW/70MWh Rochdale Battery
Gas, LNG & PowerMasdar started commercial operations at a 35MW/70MWh battery energy storage system in Rochdale, England, on August 24, 2026 — its second live UK BESS after the 20MW/40MWh Welkin Road site in Stockport (December 2025). The project sits inside a roughly £1 billion, four-site UK storage program (Rochdale, Stockport, Chesterfield, Cardiff) targeting 3GWh; this is analysis, not advice.
