Zenobē launches Europe’s largest battery storage site🔋⚡ We are excited to announce that Europe’s largest battery storage site at Blackhillock, Scotland, is now officially operational. This landmark project is a crucial step towards achieving the UK government's target of a net-zero power grid by 2030.    ⚡Total Capacity: 300MW/600MWh (equivalent to powering 3.1 million homes for one hour)  ⚡Phased Launch: Phase 1 200MW is live today, with an additional 100MW to follow in 2026.  ⚡Location: Strategically placed between Inverness and Aberdeen to address grid congestion from Viking, Moray East and Beatrice wind farms.    The site is also the first in the world to provide Stability Services to the network operator, ensuring renewable power is more secure and reliable. Blackhillock will save consumers an estimated £170 million over the next 15 years and help avoid 2.6 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions.    James Basden, Zenobē Founder Director, commented: “Today marks a critical juncture in Britain’s clean power journey as Zenobē adds over 30% to the capacity of operational battery storage in Scotland. Battery storage has an essential role to play in our transition to renewable energy, so I’m proud that Zenobē and our partners are leading the way by launching Europe’s largest and most technically advanced battery."    Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Energy Minister Michael Shanks MP added: "We are wasting no time in delivering clean power by 2030, with the Blackhillock battery site marking the latest milestone in delivering our mission to become a clean energy superpower. With every wind turbine put up, solar panel installed, and battery facility constructed, we are protecting families from future energy shocks. Battery sites like this are helping store our clean, surplus energy to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels – which will protect households and boost our energy security for good.”    Fintan Slye CEO of National Energy System Operator, said: “The delivery by Zenobe of this grid forming battery is a major accomplishment and brings us a step closer to this goal. Battery storage is critical to the future reliability and affordability of the UK grid and pairing it with this grid forming technology can unlock even greater resilience for a net-zero network”    Blackhillock has set a new benchmark for the integration of battery storage assets into the transmission network to secure a more resilient and renewable energy future.    Read more on our website, here > https://lnkd.in/e5-vvac3    #CleanEnergy #BatteryStorage #RenewableEnergy #CleanPower2030 #BESS #EnergySecurity
