Gresham House Energy Storage Fund said on Thursday it has reached 1 gigawatt (GW) of operational battery energy storage capacity in the UK, following the recent energisation of two large-scale projects.
The company’s latest site to come online is the 87MW/174MWh West Bradford project, which was energised this week and now stands as the second-largest facility in its portfolio. This follows the completion of the 40MW/80MWh Shilton Lane project near Glasgow, which began operations in late July.
According to Gresham House, a total of 282MW and 770MWh of capacity has been added since the publication of its 2024 interim results. The company’s full operational portfolio now stands at 1,072MW/1,701MWh.
“We are delighted to have completed construction of the portfolio and passed the 1GW mark of operational capacity,” said Ben Guest, fund manager of Gresham House Energy Storage Fund and managing director of Gresham House New Energy. “We now look to carry forward this momentum into the rest of the year and focus on building the next phase of augmentations and new pipeline projects,” he added.
Gresham House’s energy storage assets are part of the UK’s broader transition to a low-carbon electricity grid, supporting grid stability and enabling greater integration of renewable energy sources.
