Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Alcemi have formed a partnership to develop, build and operate 4 GW of energy storage projects deployed across the United Kingdom (UK). The projects, currently in late-stage development, have planned energy storage capacities of between 300 MW and 500 MW each, with a storage duration of up to four hours. They are being developed at strategic locations that will support the transmission system by limiting the impact of network constraints.
Alcemi initiated and will continue to develop the projects with the support of CIP and Alcemi’s founding investor Susgen. The construction of the first project is scheduled to start in 2023. Further projects are expected to go into construction regularly and to be commissioned between 2025 and 2030.
