e-STORAGE reposted this
Have you ever visited a 🔋 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) construction site 🚧? Me neither, well… until yesterday! In Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners we are building the largest project in Europe. A 500Mw/1Gwh capacity site in Coalburn, UK, featuring 430 units of SolBanks from Canadian Solar Inc. e-storage in collaboration with our partners Wood, H&MV Engineering and many more. We will install the battery containers over spring 2025 and we expect to take over and start production by Christmas next year. Behind its apparent simplicity compared to other large renewable generating assets we usually build (offshore wind, onshore wind, waste-to-energy, biogas, etc.) you can find all the challenges and risks of a relatively young business at this scale. With more than 90 GW are expected to be built around the world by 2030, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners has serious ambitions to play a key role in deploying BESS infrastructure through our growing pipeline in the main global markets (see last announcement of Scatter Wash project acquisition in USA). I am confident that the experience and the skills that our team is gaining on these first projects and the strong partnerships we are consolidating with tier-1 players will be major enablers to secure successful investments, constructions and operations. Work safe! #BESS #renewableenergy #investmentsthatmatter #energytransition
