co-location

Statkraft is currently building Ireland’s first 4-hour duration battery storage project in County Offaly, in Ireland’s midlands.

Co-location accounts for 20% of projected energy storage capacity growth in the UK and Ireland, with the total planned capacity for projects in the UK at 85GW/175GWh, says Mollie McCorkindale of Solar Media Market Research.

Bluefield Renewable Developments has received planning permissions for a 49.9MW solar farm, co-located with a 60MW battery energy storage system.

Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has raised £620 million for a UK-focused renewables fund, with solar, storage and flexibility assets a key focus.

Public consultation has opened on a large-scale solar PV project in Buckinghamshire which is at the early stages of development, by co-owners EDF Renewables UK and PS Renewables.
