Envision Energy Secures Battery Storage Project Deal with Field

LONDON, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Envision Energy, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, is delighted to announce their latest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project with Field, a renewable energy infrastructure business operating in the UK and EU.

Envision Energy will supply Field Whitebirk, a consented 50 MWh battery storage project located in Blackburn, England, with the hardware and equipment required to build the battery storage system onsite. The business secured an agreement with Field following a competitive tender process which aimed to identify a scalable, strategic partner.

The new agreement is part of a long-term partnership aimed at growing Envision Energy's Energy Storage division and the deployment of BESS in the UK and Mainland Europe.

The Whitebirk project will participate in the Capacity Market and is designed to support all major ESO revenue streams.

Mark Walton-Hayfield, Senior Director for Energy Storage in the UK and Ireland at Envision Energy, said : "We are proud that our advanced BESS solutions have been recognised by Field for their exceptional standards in safety, reliability and technical capability. We are excited to bring our Tier 1 technology to Whitebirk whilst continuing to collaborate and partner with Field more broadly and make a significant contribution to the global energy transition."

Ben Saward, Vice President for Supply Chain and Procurement at Field, said : "Envision Energy's product and expertise helped them progress swiftly through a thorough, competitive tender process and we're pleased to be working with them on Field Whitebirk. When operational, the site will join our network of UK battery storage sites in balancing increasingly intermittent energy supplies across the grid to bolster energy security, bring down costs to consumers and decarbonise the power sector by 2030."

This initiative not only underscores Envision Energy's expertise in deploying high-capacity energy storage system solutions but also its commitment to providing sustainable and innovative energy solutions that empower clients on their journey to net zero.
