When fully built, Blackhillock will be a 300MW / 600MWh project. It will be the first to provide the full suite of active and reactive power services in the world and will be the largest transmission connected battery in Europe when commissioned.
It is also the first project to be delivered under the National Grid’s NOA Stability Pathfinder programme that aims to address stability issues in the electricity system. The Blackhillock storage project will be located between Aberdeen and Inverness in Blackhillock, Scotland.
It is estimated that Blackhillock will offset around 2.3m tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere over 15 years by enabling the usage of additional wind power. In February 2023, Zenobē selected technology group Wärtsilä as the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) supplier for the Blackhillock Battery Project.
