Nofar Energy is a Tel Aviv stock exchange listed Israeli based renewable energy company and Interland is a private real estate and energy investment company. The Cellarhead project is Nofar's first entry into the UK renewable energy market. The project, located near Stoke, will provide a storage capacity of c.700 MWh which will be used to store power from the grid. The construction cost will be c. £214 m, and construction is expected to commence on site this year with connection to the electricity grid in the second quarter of 2024. Energy storage is one of the key technologies required to achieve the UK's net zero targets.

The multi-disciplinary Howard Kennedy team included Jane Brassington, Chirag Rao, Jade Chalmers, Christopher Duffy, Anthony Hunt, James Tong and Emily Malster, led by Head of Energy Jonathan Cohen.
