The government has awarded £50m in green funding for projects in Oxford, Sussex and Orkney.
Some 90 other projects across the city, including local solar and hydro energy power, will help supply the energy for the batteries.
Oxford City Councillor Tom Hayes told Sky News:"The difference this will make for the average person living in Oxford is huge.""People are going to be able to breathe cleaner air, they're going to see a more regular service on their roads and they're going to be seeing electric vehicles that are zero emitting.
Suzanne and David Jeffrey from the city, already generate a third of their own energy using solar panels and a heat pump.They believe the funding will help them store excess energy in the summer months and trade it with their neighbours.
