Mytilineos SA on Thursday announced the successful completion of the energisation of the Byers Brae Project in Scotland through its Renewables and Storage Development (RSD) Business Unit. In an announcement, Mytilineos said that the project moved according to the initial schedule, despite the Covid-19 restrictions. The construction period was four months.
This specific project is a 30MW battery energy storage system (BESS) providing approximately 30MWh to the grid, in contract with Gresham House. This is the 3rd BESS project that the RSD Business Unit completes during the last semester, and it validates the successful long-term cooperation with Gresham House, preceded by the successful energisation at the end of 2020 by the Wickham BESS project (50MW/74MWh) and the Thurcroft BESS project (50MW/75MWh). Wickham and Thurcroft are some of the bigger BESS projects in Gresham House’s portfolio. Storage projects are an integral part of a successful energy transition and a key parameter for a transition to low CO2 emissions, while they support the increased penetration and the optimisation of the operation of RES projects. Mytilineos, with extensive experience in the development and construction of battery energy storage projects, intends to pioneer in Greek and international markets.
