Mytilineos completes third UK battery project

Greek energy and construction conglomerate Mytilineos completed its third battery energy storage system, the 30MW Byers Bray project in Scotland, which has a 30MWh energy storage capacity.

The project was part of a contract between Mytilineos and investment manager Gresham House. Mytilineos completed two further projects under the same agreement in England last year — a 50MW battery in Wickham with 74MWh of capacity and a 50MW battery in Thurcroft with 75MWh of capacity.

Gresham House earlier this month said that it estimated it had already supplied 170GWh of energy into the national grid from its existing battery storage sites.

Mytilineos acquired 25 battery projects in Greece last month from construction conglomerate Egnatia Group. The firm also plans to commission 20MW and 6MW facilities in Italy by the end of next year.
