We are delighted to be partnering with SUSI-Eelpower guaranteeing they have a course to market for the initial Scottish distribution connected battery," included head of power trading solutions at EDF Stuart Fenner."

Simon ended, "Battery storage space plays a massive part in the road to net zero as well as assisting to decarbonise our energy system as well as this is a significant milestone for Scotland, along with relieving pressure on the National Grid."

Coming before the industrial operations of the significant battery project in Scotland, SUSI-Eelpower's Dunsinane asset has appointed a 10 MW battery in Winchester, England. The project will certainly be of crucial to improve grid stability since it lies in a stuffed part of the national power grid, which is around the Rownhams grid supply point in Hampshire.
