Statkraft to optimise Scottish battery duo

• Energy outfit will maximise income streams for the 35MW Arbroath as well as a 40MW Coupar BESS sites

Statkraft has actually signed two optimisation agreements with Gresham House Energy Storage Fund for 2 battery energy storage projects in Scotland.

The agreements will cover the 35MW Arbroath as well as 40MW Coupar projects, both set to energise in 2022.

These assets are transmission connected as well as CVA registered in Scotland.

They will help in reducing transmission constraints where they lie, by saving excess sustainable power which might have otherwise been stopped as well as releasing it when the network is less crowded.

Statkraft claimed it will certainly maximise the take-home pay streams of the projects throughout ancillary solutions and also trading markets.

Duncan Dale, Statkraft's VP of Customer Facing Business, UK & Ireland, claimed: "We're delighted to be collaborating with Gresham House on battery storage projects for the very first time.

" Statkraft looks forward to showing our capacity to add worth in this area and also in future broadening our partnership with Gresham House Energy Storage Fund, that are the largest battery owner in the UK."

Ben Guest, Taking Care Of Director, New Energy at Gresham House as well as Fund Manager of Gresham House Energy Storage Fund, added: "We're impressed with Statkraft's record and reputation in renewables and flex trading and also are expecting working closely with Statkraft on battery projects as well as growing our partnership in the future."
