Kiwi Power is to finance and develop a battery storage project at an energy site including solar in south Wales, where it will provide constant grid services availability to National Grid for two years in a first for the aggregator. The 4MW Tesla battery will sit within a cluster of integrated clean technologies at Cenin Renewables’ Parc Stormy site in Bridgend, which hosts a 735kW solar installation, a low carbon cement facility, an anaerobic digestion plant and a wind turbine. The battery, which will also be managed by KiWi Power, will deliver firm frequency response (FFR) to National Grid after securing a contract in August’s monthly tender to provide 24 hour availability across each week from 1 February 2018 to 31 January 2020.
