Reading-based Anesco (
www.anesco.co.uk), the UK market leader for utility-scale energy storage, is on track to more than quadruple its operational battery portfolio to 380MW by 2020.
The company currently has 29 sites comprising 76 individual battery units; these provide a combined capacity of 87MW. Several projects are currently under construction, including a 50MW installation in Hampshire, due for completion later this year.
Executive chairman Steve Shine, said: “We have long recognised the potential and importance of battery storage for the UK’s energy mix and have invested heavily in making sure it is a commercially viable option for investors and commercial organisations alike.
“Having the ability to show how the figures stack up is crucial and has been a key differentiator for us. Our batteries are performing above specification and are delivering a strong economic return for our customers.”
