Habitat Energy has begun optimising the 50MW/50MWh Camilla Farm battery on behalf of Next Energy Solar Fund (NESF) and Eelpower.
The Fife project is one of the largest operational battery energy storage sites in Scotland, Habitat said.
It will be instrumental in enabling increased integration of intermittent renewable energy and particularly Scotland’s substantial offshore wind capacity, it added.
NESF-Eelpower selected Habitat Energy as trading and optimisation partner.
The company will provide market access and optimise the battery across all available revenue streams including balancing mechanism, trading, and ancillary services.
Camilla Farm was designed and constructed to allow for augmentation to become a two-hour (100MWh) duration asset.
It will play an important role in decarbonising energy by providing balancing services to National Grid which will allow the integration of greater levels of renewable generation, it added.
Jon Doughty, managing director UK at Habitat Energy, said: “We’re delighted to have partnered with NextEnergy and Eelpower to optimise Camila.
“We have a long-standing relationship together which is testament to the results our team delivers day in day out.
“Growing the UK’s battery storage capacity is critical to delivering net zero, and this Scottish-based project will help to ensure we make the most of the UK’s abundant renewable energy sources and support grid stability.”
