Decisions by year
Battery storage decisions by the year the decision was issued (Renewable Energy Planning Database). Withdrawn and still-undecided applications are excluded, so a short bar can mean a quiet year rather than a strict council.

Yes — of the 29 battery storage schemes North Yorkshire has decided, 100% were approved (29 granted, 0 refused). The UK-wide rate for battery storage is 92%.
How long does a battery storage scheme application take in North Yorkshire?
The median time from application to decision is 10.5 months, against a UK median of 6 months for battery storage. That is measured between the submission and decision dates recorded in REPD, so it reflects the whole determination period including any extensions.
How much battery storage capacity has North Yorkshire consented?
2,904 MW has been consented across 29 approved schemes. A further 16 applications awaits a decision.

Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0 — 2026 Q1 extract. Approval rate is over decided applications only (approved ÷ approved+refused); withdrawn and undecided schemes are excluded. A permission later expired still counts as approved because consent was granted. REPD covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above, is published quarterly, and does not record refusal reasons — so nothing here explains why a scheme was refused.
