The Turkish renewable energy company has bought a fully consented plot near Birmingham in the UK’s Midlands for a 100MWh BESS installation.
November 10, 2026
Anglo Renewables has sold a fully consented 50MW/100MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project near Birmingham to Kinetics Energies for an undisclosed sum.
The 2-hour project, dubbed Kitwell, is expected to connect to the grid in 2028.
Northamptonshire-based Anglo Renewables is a micro-business (having a turnover of less than £1 million annually) that enters into agreements with landowners and steers appropriate permitting for change of land use and planning permission for battery energy storage system or solar PV installations. In the case of the Kitwell site, it is presumed any agreement between the landowner and Anglo Renewables passes to Kinetics Energies, part of Karpowership, the Turkish energy group.
The head of commercial at Karpowership and CEO of Kinetics Energies, Mehmet Katmer, said: "Battery storage has an important role to play in keeping the grid flexible and reliable, and we look forward to delivering an operating BESS project as part of our strategy to deliver 800MW of low and zero carbon assets across Europe."

In England and Wales, BESS sites are not considered to be nationally significant infrastructure regardless of their size, and permission for development is subject to approval by the relevant local planning authority.
