NHOA Energy has signed an agreement with Statkraft to supply a battery storage project in Coylton, Scotland.
The agreement also includes servicing the 130MWh asset once operational.
Following the two projects under construction for an aggregate capacity of 130MWh, the Coylton Greener Grid Park project marks NHOA Energy’s third foray in the battery storage field in the UK.
Coylton Greener Grid Park will deliver grid-forming, synthetic inertia and power quality functions.
NHOA Energy’s battery storage solution is compliant with the NOA Stability Pathfinder requirements, promoted by National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO), which aims to develop solutions to improve grid stability, through providing short-circuit power and synthetic inertia.
“This new battery storage system in the region propels us to the forefront of the energy transition, leveraging the UK’s dynamic market and Statkraft’s expertise, clearly setting up together a benchmark for innovation and sustainability in the energy sector,” said Lucie Kanius-Dujardin, Executive Vice President Global Markets of NHOA Energy.
Lucy Kent, Statkraft Principal Project Manager, Greener Grid Parks, added: “Our Coylton Greener Grid Park will help support the increased deployment of renewable energy into the grid and is another investment by Statkraft in the UK’s renewable energy infrastructure.
“Once operational, Coylton Greener Grid Park will further cement Statkraft’s role in contributing to grid stability and ensuring a resilient, versatile energy system capable of meeting the demands of the future.”
