DC SIGNS BIGGEST BATTERY STORAGE ASSET TO DATE
We’ve signed an optimisation agreement for Welkin Mill, a battery storage asset located in Manchester, UK!
The agreement marks our biggest battery storage asset yet and our second battery in the UK, where we will utilise our fully automated algorithmic setup to maximise returns across wholesale and ancillary services markets.
Under the agreement, DC will provide market access, balancing and optimisation services for Welkin Mill, which is owned by Equinor and is developed by Noriker Power Ltd.
Once operational, Welkin Mill will have a capacity of 35 MW/70 MWh and can store enough electricity to power over 100,000 UK homes for two hours.
“We are proud to announce Danske Commodities’ optimisation agreement for Welkin Mill. With more than 15 years of experience from British power markets, we will apply our trading expertise to optimise the battery storage asset and help provide much-needed flexibility to intermittent power generation. The UK is a core market for us, and we look forward to continuing growing our portfolio of renewables and flexible assets,” says our Head of European Power Trading Anders Kring Jensen.
Last year, we signed our first optimisation agreement in the UK for the 25 MW/50 MWh battery storage asset Blandford Road, which is also owned by Equinor and developed by Noriker.
