Wind farm battery energy storage partnership ‘powers’ UK journey to net-zero
ABB collaborates with Ecotricity on 10-MW grid-scale battery project
ABB announced a new grid-scale battery project in partnership with Ecotricity. The collaboration will help pave the way for the national grid’s journey to net-zero by 2050.
ABB’s grid-scale battery energy storage solution (BESS), which will be installed at Ecotricity’s existing 6.9-MW wind farm in Gloucestershire in 2023, will not only provide a material addition to the company’s renewable energy offering but also highlight the potential of short-term fast response technologies, like BESS, to add additional stability to the U.K.’s national grid, a crucial hurdle as it moves toward net-zero.
