RES Sells Energy Storage Project To TagEnergy
Renewable
energy company, RES, has announced the sale of Roaring Hill Energy Storage
Project to TagEnergy - a clean energy enterprise accelerating the transition to
renewables by investing in competitive generation and storage assets in order
to compete directly and actively on the energy market.
Roaring Hill
consists of 18 battery enclosures and was consented in two phases by Fife
Council. The modern and highly efficient battery energy storage system will
provide grid stabilisation and ancillary grid services, supporting the network by
balancing supply and demand.
Battery energy
storage is a key technology providing flexibility to the network and supporting
the decarbonisation of the UK's electricity system by 2035. RES is a world leader in energy storage projects
and has completed 272MW/371MWh worth of projects across Europe and North
America. The grid stability provided by energy storage systems ultimately supports
the development of renewable energy, helping to facilitate the energy
transition
Lucy Whitford, MD
for Development and Construction at RES, said: “We are pleased to be working with TagEnergy,
and look forward to supporting them as they deliver the project. This latest
energy storage project will help support the network as we transition to net
zero and underlines the position of RES as a reliable, economic and safe choice
for energy storage customers in the UK.”
Franck Woitiez, CEO at TagEnergy, said: “This is an important
step forward for TagEnergy as we seek to drive the pace of transition to
renewables through projects that deliver reliable energy affordably and at
scale. Our significant battery storage expertise means we can leverage our
flexible energy supply to optimise the energy market while helping to stabilise
the grid and increasing renewables' share of it.”
“We are pleased
to be working with RES, whose experience in developing and managing energy
storage systems is world-leading.”
