Will a new battery storage site be built in Scotland?

Investment fund manager Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has announced it will build two more battery storage sites in Scotland in partnership with Susgen subsidiary Alcemi. The £800m investment in the 1 GW Coalburn 2 and 500 MW Devilla will see Scotland become home to some of the largest BESS projects in Europe.

Where is the energy storage project located?

The Devilla Energy Storage Project is located east of Kincardine (Fife) and will span 11.5 hectares. The site is expected to be connected to the grid in October 2027. The Coalburn 2 Energy Storage Project will be built over 21.5 hectares on a former coal mine site east of Coalburn, just south of Glasgow.

Will battery storage be a key role in the rollout of renewables?

Ministers and energy sector leaders say battery storage will play a key part in the rollout of renewables, as they store excess power generated by windfarms and help to balance the energy grid.

Which energy company has the largest site online in 2024?

TagEnergy brought the largest site online in 2024 as its 100 MW Lakeside project, while Gresham House added three sites totalling 150 MW. According to the National Energy System Operator (NESO), UK BESS capacity will need to reach between 23-27 GW in 2030 to ensure the government meets its clean power goals.

What is the largest battery storage project in Europe?

Each project is sized at 500MW and, once commissioned, will be the largest battery storage projects in Europe. Representing an investment of approximately £800m, the two projects expand CIP’s UK BESS construction portfolio from one to three projects and make CIP the largest battery storage investor in the United Kingdom.

Is Scotland a good place for battery storage?

Scotland has emerged as an ideal location for battery storage, owing to a surplus of renewable wind energy and constrained grid infrastructure. By 2030, about 60 per cent of UK energy will be generated by wind, with 31 per cent sourced in Scotland, according to CIP.
