Great news Highview Power. Increasing the storage capacity on the UK grid is a vital part of the transition to a renewable future. The introduction of a cap and floor model is forward thinking. It will support the development of new and exciting technologies such as Liquid Air Energy Storage, but could equally be applied to other energy storage technologies too - helping to add resilience and ensure that we maximise the use of every green electron generated.
Exciting News… we’re proud to announce that Highview Power will develop four new 2.5GWh power plants, to deliver 10GWh of long duration energy storage across the UK by 2030. Two of the 2.5GWh plants will deliver more storage than all of the UK’s existing battery storage, using 100% sustainable technology, with a 40-year lifespan. Supported by the UK Government’s new cap and floor mechanism, this marks a key milestone in the journey to achieving a net zero grid by 2030. Scotland & England Lead the Way… our first 2.5GWh plant will be located in Hunterston, Scotland, with a total of four new plants across the UK. Each plant has the capacity to power up to 650,000 homes for over 12.5 hours, a major boost toward ensuring energy security and curbing renewable energy curtailment. Unlocking Investment for a Greener Future… This is just the beginning! Our new plants are part of a broader LDES programme backed by billions of pounds in investment, driven by key partners Centrica, UK Infrastructure Bank and more. Together, we’re not only powering the grid, but also unlocking economic growth. Highview Power is proud to be leading the way in the UK's energy transition!

Our Net Zero team had the opportunity to spend the day volunteering at the Woodside Animal Centre - RSPCA Leicestershire, peterborough & Rutland animal centre 🐈🐕 To give back to the amazing staff who dedicate so much of their time and energy caring for the animals, the team was tasked with enhancing the staff room. They painted the walls, built some new tables from scaffold planks, and mounted a TV all to create a more relaxing space! A huge thank you to our volunteers and the staff at RSPCA Woodside who dedicate their time to such an important cause. We've committed to inspire our colleagues to give 100,000 days to build inclusive communities by 2030 as part of our People & Planet Plan.

Providing more support is the key to unlocking the Net Zero Home 🏡 🔓 As British Gas publishes the third annual Net Zero Action Rankings, Dan Rosenfield, Managing Director of Centrica Net Zero has called for greater collaboration between Governments, NGOs, and businesses to help Britain’s homeowners better understand the types of technologies that can give them greener homes, and increase Britain’s energy security. The Rankings show that 8 out of 10 UK homeowners are willing to make changes to their home to help tackle climate change, but need greater support and a simplified Government grant scheme to turn this enthusiasm in to action.
