TagEnergy has commenced construction on a 49MW/98MWh energy storage system near Abernethy, following £12.5m funding from Santander UK.
The Jamesfield development is a joint venture with Harmony Energy, following TagEnergy’s acquisition of a 60% stake in the project in November 2021.
It will use a system of Tesla Megapack lithium-ion batteries, together with Tesla’s Autobidder software for real-time trading and control. It is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter this year, with renewable energy company RES as asset manager.
