Matrix Renewables has announced its expansion into the UK market through a partnership with Green BESS Developments to develop two energy storage projects in Scotland.
Battery storage projects in Scotland
The projects, named Eccles and Kilmarnock, will be located in strategic locations along the main electricity transmission corridors between Scotland and England. Each facility will have a capacity of 500 MW and 1 GWh, for a total of 1 GW and 2 GWh. These energy storage systems ( BESS ) aim to strengthen the stability of the electricity grid and facilitate the integration of renewable energy into the UK energy system.
This collaboration marks Matrix Renewables ‘ entry into the UK renewable generation and storage sector. The company plans to develop over 2 GW of additional capacity over the next three years, representing an investment of over £1 billion and the creation of numerous jobs in the country.
The Eccles and Kilmarnock projects are expected to be operational in 2027. Matrix Renewables is currently in advanced discussions with a leading UK-based engineering, procurement and construction ( EPC ) provider and is finalising the technical configuration, procurement strategy and financing structure for the project.
