Envision Energy has secured an agreement to supply a 50 megawatt hour battery storage project in the UK.
Field has contracted Envision to supply the hardware and equipment for the Whitebirk scheme in Blackburn, north-west England.
The new agreement is part of a long-term partnership aimed at growing Envision Energy’s Energy Storage division and the deployment of battery storage in the UK and Mainland Europe.
The Whitebirk project will participate in the Capacity Market and is designed to support all major National Grid ESO revenue streams.
Senior director for energy storage in the UK and Ireland at Envision Energy Mark Walton-Hayfield said: “We are proud that our advanced BESS solutions have been recognised by Field for their exceptional standards in safety, reliability and technical capability.
“We are excited to bring our Tier 1 technology to Whitebirk whilst continuing to collaborate and partner with Field more broadly and make a significant contribution to the global energy transition.”
Field’s vice president for supply chain and procurement Ben Saward said: “Envision Energy’s product and expertise helped them progress swiftly through a thorough, competitive tender process and we’re pleased to be working with them on Field Whitebirk.
“When operational, the site will join our network of UK battery storage sites in balancing increasingly intermittent energy supplies across the grid to bolster energy security, bring down costs to consumers and decarbonise the power sector by 2030.”
