UK PROJECTS

Long duration energy storage will enable the UK energy transition. It will make renewables more flexible, cut waste, reduce dependence on foreign gas and ensure the UK meets its net zero goals. Highview Power’s UK programme has the potential to power 7.6 million homes – with over 16 sites identified across the country.

Beyond contributing to UK’s energy security by reducing the intermittency of renewables this programme will boost the economy by £12.7 billion by 2035 – including £2.7 billion in value add on top of Highview’s £10 billion investment in infrastructure. This will also support 6,200 jobs in construction and the wider supply chain.

This programme will set the bar for sustainable energy systems around the world, positioning the UK as the global leader in the energy storage industry.

Manchester, UK

Work is now underway at Carrington – a 50MW / 300MWh plant at Trafford Energy Park near Manchester. The facility will store enough clean, renewable energy to serve the needs of 480,000 homes, as well as providing essential grid stabilisation services. The site will use existing substation and transmission infrastructure.

Pilsworth Grid Scale Demonstrator Station

Highview Power’s grid-scale demonstration site was established at the Pilsworth Landfill facility in Bury, Greater Manchester. In operation for over two years, this renewable energy power station demonstrated our balancing service capabilities, including Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR) which supported the grid during winter peaks.

Developed in partnership with recycling and renewable energy company, Viridor the project was backed by £8 million of UK government funding.

SCOTLAND AND THE
NORTH EAST, UK

Highview Power’s next projects will be located in Scotland and the North East and each will be 200MW/2.5GWh capacity. These will be located on the national transmission network where the wind is being generated and therefore will enable these regions to unleash their untapped renewable energy potential and store excess wind power at scale.

Highview Power and Orsted - unlocking greater value from wind farms

Highview Power and Ørsted’s joint study shows that the co-location of LAES with Ørsted’s offshore wind offers a step forward in reducing wind curtailment, and helping to move to a more flexible, resilient zero carbon grid.

The project findings have been fed into the UK Government’s Long Duration Energy Storage’ consultation to demonstrate the benefits of LAES in delivering the shift to clean energy. Offshore wind will be essential for the UK’s ambition to achieve net zero by 2050. And storage systems will play a crucial role in supporting the stability of the power network and improving the efficiency of wind farms, encouraging future investment in renewable energy that will boost the UK’s energy security and cut consumer bills.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS

Highview Power renewable energy power stations are sought after around the world to solve critical energy needs and help governments achieve their decarbonisation goals. The long duration energy storage market is expected to grow to ~£3 trillion globally by 2040 and deliver 2.5 TW of storage to make renewables more efficient and reliable.

Australia

Highview Power is actively developing several renewable energy power stations in the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland with development planning underway on two projects so far. The first is a nominal 90 MW, 10 hour scheme on the Katherine-Darwin network followed with a 30 MW, 12 hour facility adjacent to the Owen Springs Power station outside of Alice Springs. Both schemes blend solar power and Li-ion storage in order to provide a base load supply of renewable energy.

These initial projects would facilitate the Territory’s objective to cut carbon emissions in half by 2030. Highview Power’s proprietary Liquid Air Energy Storage technology enables the provision of renewable energy and grid stability services on a 24/7 basis.
