W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Corporation,\u00a0<\/span>Press release\u00a0<\/span>15 February 2024 at 10:00 UTC+2<\/p>\n

Technology group W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 will supply a 300-megawatt (MW) \/ 600-megawatt hour (MWh) energy storage system under an Engineered Equipment Delivery (EEQ) contract to Zenob\u0113, an electric vehicle fleet and battery storage specialist, in Kilmarnock, Scotland. This is the second energy storage system W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is delivering to Zenob\u0113, and it will be one of the largest in Scotland to date. It will be the first facility built with W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s Quantum High Energy (QuantumHE<\/sup>), a next-generation energy storage system. QuantumHE<\/sup>, provides increased energy density for Zenob\u0113 and is fitted with state-of-the-art features to ensure the highest level of safety for the surrounding community. The order was booked to W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s order intake in January 2024 and the energy storage system is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

The project will be delivered under Great Britain\u2019s National Grid\u2019s\u00a0NOA Stability Pathfinder<\/a>\u00a0programme, which aims to cost-effectively address stability issues in the electricity system created by the increased adoption of intermittent renewable generation. The energy storage system will help grid operators to better balance supply and demand and ensure that the country\u2019s abundant wind generation is not wasted. The project is expected to abate 3,400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the next 15 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is proud to partner with Zenob\u0113 to accelerate the transition to renewable energy in Scotland,\u201d said Andy Tang, Vice President, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Energy Storage & Optimisation. \u201cThis project brings W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s portfolio of energy storage assets in the United Kingdom over 2 gigawatt hours. We are committed to assisting customers in the UK reach their national decarbonisation targets through innovative energy storage solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

This project follows the\u00a0announcement<\/a>\u00a0in February 2023 of a 200 MW \/ 400 MWh energy storage system W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 will deliver to Zenob\u0113 in Blackhillock, Scotland. The Blackhillock site is on track to be operational by autumn 2024. Once operational, both Zenob\u0113 projects will play a key role in achieving Scotland’s ambitious renewable energy objectives.<\/p>\n

“Reaching this significant milestone demonstrates Zenob\u0113\u2019s commitment to better utilise wind power and support its growth by doubling Scotland\u2019s battery storage capacity. Kilmarnock South will enhance the country\u2019s position as a leader in delivering energy that is cost-effective, clean and efficient,\u201d commented James Basden, Founder, Zenob\u0113. \u201cThis is an important moment as we bolster the UK’s energy infrastructure and help to ensure that every household feels the benefits of sustainable, affordable electricity\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Kilmarnock South project is W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4’s second project being delivered to meet NOA Stability Pathfinder requirements. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s intelligent energy management system, the GEMS Digital Energy Platform, will ease network constraints by importing electricity at times of peak renewable generation. GEMS\u2019 data-based intelligence will enable Zenob\u0113 to participate in the most valuable UK electricity markets.<\/p>\n
