The UK government has published its ‘Battery Strategy’, setting out measures to facilitate the growth of a domestic battery industry to support the EV and energy storage system (ESS) sectors.

System integrator Ameresco will build a maximum 50MW/200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in partnership with Silicon Valley Power (SVP), the non-profit utility of the city of Santa Clara, California.

The commercial solutions arm of UK utility SSE will optimise a 250MW/375MWh BESS for developer-operator Pacific Green.

UK battery storage and flexible generation developer-operator Statera Energy has secured a £300 million (US$375 million) financing package for its Thurrock project, its first news since being bought by investor EQT.

Wärtsilä’s decision to launch a strategic review of its energy storage & optimisation (ES&O) business, including potential divestment, may be because of its dilutive effect on the broader company’s margins, an analyst told Energy-Storage.news.

Investor EQT Infrastructure has acquired UK clean energy and battery storage developer-operator Statera, the latest in a flurry of deals in the UK market.

Wholesale trading revenues for UK battery storage systems grew 45% month-on-month in October, accounting for half of revenue growth, Modo Energy said.
