British battery energy storage manufacturer Zenobē has recently announced that it has begun to deploy a battery energy storage project in Blackhillock, Kilmarnock South, and Eccles in Scotland. The total investment will reach £ 750 million.
The company said that these battery energy storage projects will become the first in the world to connect the battery energy storage system to use the transmission line to provide power grid inertia services.
The company also signed a power procurement agreement for these three battery energy storage projects to provide stability for British power system operator NGESO's power grid operation and help improve the reliability of power systems.
The first stage of Blackhillock and Kilmarnock South battery energy storage projects will be put into use in the first half of 2024 and the second half of the year, with a total scale of 400MW/800MWH. The ECCLES battery energy storage project will be put into use in early 2026, and its scale will reach 400MW/800MWh.
Once fully put into operation, these three battery energy storage systems will be added to Zenobē. In the investment portfolio of Scotland, its combination also includes a 50MW/100MWH battery energy storage system located in Wishaw. This will enable the company's energy storage investment portfolio in Scotland to reach 1050MW/2100MWH.
In addition to deploying a battery energy storage system in Scotland, Zenobē has recently deployed a 24MWH battery energy storage system in Swindon.
