Enel starts operations at UK battery energy storage system

Enel SpA has started operations at its 25-MW/12.5-MWh Tynemouth battery energy storage system near Newcastle in the U.K.

Tynemouth is providing grid-balancing services under a four-year enhanced frequency contract with National Grid PLC. At the end of the contract, the project will participate in ancillary services and capacity market tenders, according to a June 12 news release.

The project is the first operational utility-scale, stand-alone battery energy storage system of the Enel Group. The company acquired Tynemouth from energy developer Element Power Ltd. in May 2017 and has since invested approximately €20 million in it.

RES Group was the engineering, procurement and construction contractor for the project and will remain involved under a four-year contract to support Enel with operation and maintenance.

Enel currently has 750 MW of battery energy storage systems under development.
