GRS is boosting its storage capacity with the completion of the Glendevon stand-alone battery project in Scotland for Foresight, a leading investment manager in real assets and growth capital. With a capacity of 49.4 MW / 98.8 MWh, the Glendevon project, connected to the grid, will contribute to its regulation in that area. It will play a key role in managing peak demand and contribute significantly to achieving net-zero emissions targets.
GRS has applied the experience and knowledge in storage accumulated within the Gransolar Group to take on the engineering, design, construction, and commissioning tasks for the project. It has also agreed with Foresight to carry out the operation and maintenance (O&M) work for at least the first two years after the project is energised.
The company, focused on its strategy of promoting energy storage in all areas where it operates, has celebrated the mechanical completion of the Glendevon. “Storage is no longer just an add-on: it is the key to making renewables reliable and competitive. And at GRS, we have the knowledge and the team to make it a reality for companies committed to progress, such as Foresight,” says Christian Moeckel, the company’s Global Commercial Director.
Richard Thompson, Partner and Co-Manager of Foresight Energy Infrastructure Partners, comments: “The completion of the Glendevon battery project marks a key milestone in our commitment to supporting the UK’s transition to a net-zero energy system. Partnering with GRS has enabled us to deliver a high-quality asset that will play a crucial role in strengthening grid stability and accelerating the deployment of renewable energy.”
