  RADIX Group https://radixgroup.co.uk/ by Christian Alexander In the march towards a sustainable energy future, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are the hub of renewable integration, ensuring grid stability and unlocking the full potential of wind & solar power. As demand for these systems grows so does the challenge of finding suitable locations to site them. Traditional concrete foundation methods often struggle when faced with uneven terrain, soft soils, or environmentally sensitive areas, leaving promising sites off the menu. This where ground screws show their value as a versatile, efficient solution that is transforming the way BESS projects are deployed in challenging terrains. Overcoming Barriers with Ground Screws For decades, energy infrastructure projects have been constrained by site conditions. Rocky terrain, waterlogged fields, and slopes have rendered many locations impractical for development due to the cost and complexity of traditional foundat...

  RADIX Group https://radixgroup.co.uk/ Battery Energy Storage Systems Are the Essential Backbone of Our Energy Transition Christian Alexander   As the planet grapples with the critical issue of climate change, the need for a thorough shift towards sustainable energy has never been clearer. This shift, moving away from fossil fuels towards renewable and eco-friendly energy sources, is essential for reducing environmental harm and securing a more sustainable future. At the heart of this transformation are Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), which are key in improving the dependability and efficiency of renewable energy. As one of the founders of RADIX, I am deeply committed to how cutting-edge solutions, such as our screw pile foundations, can support in this shift and ensure its success.   BESS acts as a crucial link in the incorporation of renewable energy, making it easier to store electricity from sources that are not constant, like solar and wind.
