FRV to develop 15 MWh Holes Bay battery storage system in Dorset
Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), part of Abdul Latif Jameel Energy, has announced its first battery project as a part of its long-term investment plan to develop energy storage projects globally.
The plan includes long-term investments in battery energy storage projects that play a central role in the market, supporting the increasing penetration of renewables in the global energy mix.
FRV’s first battery energy storage project is located at Holes Bay, in Dorset, United Kingdom, in collaboration with the British developer Harmony Energy, which builds, owns and operates renewable energy assets across the UK.
The Holes Bay project will be comprised of lithium-ion batteries with a combined capacity of 15 MWh, connected to the Southern Electric Power distribution network, with the capability to store energy and provide flexibility to the grid.
Holes Bay will be a first-of-a-kind development in the UK and Europe, utilizing cutting-edge control and storage technologies. Construction will start in January 2020, with commissioning expected within three months, for what will be one of the largest battery energy storage systems in the South of England.
