A fleet of rapid-responding storage assets, both short and long duration, will be an important part of underpinning a balanced grid of the future. In particular, energy storage can capitalise on United Kingdom’s unparalleled renewable energy generation potential, supporting effective load shifting to ensure renewables resources are plentiful at peak demand periods.
The Channel Link Enterprises Finance Plc has a particular interest in supporting sponsors considering co-located renewable energy and storage facilities, which are emerging as a standard asset class. We are also looking to invest in battery storage projects which provide valuable grid services such as grid-forming inverters, crowding in private sector co-financiers to grow market confidence in merchant storage revenue streams.
