Renewable energy infrastructure company Field is to acquire two batteries from RES. Holmston in Ayr (South Ayrshire) and Drum Farm in Keith (Moray), Holmston and Drum Farm have a combined capacity of 100MW / 200MWh.
Katie Marsh, Head of Corporate Development at Field said: “We’re delighted to have worked with RES and to add Field Holmston and Field Drum Farm to a healthy pipeline of renewable infrastructure projects. With vital grid reforms picking up pace, we will start to see more storage projects connected to the network to support the transition to a net zero electricity system.
Field’s first battery site, in Oldham (20MWh), commenced operation in 2022. The company says it plans to bring a further 410MWh of battery sites online over the next two years, including this acquisition, and has over 4.5GWh of projects in development or in exclusivity with partners.
