UK INFRASTRUCTURE BANK, CENTRICA & PARTNERS INVEST £300M IN HIGHVIEW POWER CLEAN ENERGY STORAGE PROGRAMME TO BOOST UK’S ENERGY SECURITY Today’s investment will enable the construction of one of the world’s largest long duration energy storage (LDES) facilities in Carrington, Manchester, using Highview Power’s proprietary LAES technology. Once complete, it will have a storage capacity of 300 MWh and an output power of 50 MW per hour for six hours. Construction will begin on the site immediately, with the facility operational in 2026, supporting over 700 jobs in construction and the supply chain. Richard Butland, Co-Founder & CEO of Highview Power: “There is no energy transition without storage. The UK’s investment in world-leading offshore wind and renewables requires a national long duration energy storage programme to capture excess wind and support the grids transformation. UKIB and Centrica and our partners have today backed our ambitious plan to bring renewable energy storage into the UK economy at scale, liberating the potential of what is both the greenest and by far the cheapest energy source for the UK economy and provide energy security. Our first project in Carrington will be the foundation for our full scale roll-out in the UK and expansion with partners to share this British technology internationally.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eTW_sYXs #highviewpower #longdurationenergy #ldes #liquidairenergy #centrica #ukib #carrington #goldmansachs #riotinto #kirkbi #laes #netzero #energystorage

THE PROBLEMS WE SOLVE... INTERMITTENCY, RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS, CURTALIMENT & GRID STABILITY. Here is our latest infographic, which explains how our liquid air energy storage (LAES) works. LAES captures excess renewable energy helping reduce curtailment, it tackles intermittency by storing energy that can then be released when the win isn't blowing & the sun isn't shining. This provides the grid with stability, improving energy security and helping us reach #NetZero.

We have been appointed to play a key role in the development of a pioneering new energy plant which aims to reshape the future of renewable energy. At Trafford Energy Park in Carrington, Manchester, we will be delivering a £23m contract to design the site layout and deliver the enabling works and civils for the UK’s first commercial scale liquid air long duration energy storage facility.

As covered in the Daily Express, we are thrilled that amongst our new £300m investors are KIRKBI A/S (Denmark's Kristiansen family), the owners of household name ‘the LEGO Group’. Kasper Trebbien, Vice President, Head of Energy Transition Investments at KIRKBI said: “KIRKBI is dedicated to drive a positive impact on climate challenges through our investments. With this important investment and the dedicated team behind Highview Power, we are looking to support the UK’s first commercial-scale liquid air energy storage facility and play a positive role in the UK’s energy transition. Our investment aligns with our commitment to advance green energy, bolster global renewable energy production, and further mature long duration energy storage solutions.” Read the full Daily Express article here: https://lnkd.in/ej5vyAqJ

Highview Power would like to congratulate Keir Starmer and the The Labour Party Government on winning last week’s election. We look forward to working together closely with the Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero and his team at DESNZ to help Labour reach its 2030 clean power target. To meet demand growth and decarbonise, we need unencumbered access to clean energy. At Highview Power, we’re making the benefits of a clean energy economy possible for all.

At Highview Power, we make renewables more flexible, responsive, and dependable to energise businesses, communities, and nations worldwide. We do that by providing responsive demand, long duration energy storage (LDES), synchronous generation, and independent grid stabilisation services in a single, holistic solution. We call this Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES). Following last months news that construction has begun on our Carrington site, which once complete will have a storage capacity of 300 MWh and an output power of 50 MW per hour for six hours, we will have one of the world’s largest long duration energy storage (LDES) facilities by early 2026.

“It said the storage element of its technology could also help reduce curtailment costs, which are incurred by the grid operator when offshore wind farms are paid to switch off during particularly blustery conditions to avoid overloading the grid. Last year Britain spent £800m in 2023 on curtailment payments to wind farms.” A recent BusinessGreen article highlights the recent £300M investment into Highview Power & how we plan to keep Britain #AlwaysOn. At Highview Power, we’ve developed a unique yet proven solution, #LiquidAir energy storage (LAES), to enable the transition to 247.365, secure, agile, clean energy. We can store this energy anywhere from 6 hours up to several weeks (far longer than battery technology).
