Galileo 14 Limited, a European renewable energy developer, has submitted a planning application to Lichfield District Council seeking permission for the development, including battery containers, inverters, control/welfare buildings, security and acoustic measures and access tracks.
If approved, the battery energy storage system (BESS) could be in place for up to 50 years.
It would occupy a 5.049 (12.48) acre site off Rugeley Road, Armitage and be accessed from the A513.
More than 2,000 new homes are earmarked for the former power station site in the coming years.
The power station closed in 2016 and has since been demolished.
