Masdar breaks ground in the <\/strong>UK<\/strong>: <\/strong>Masdar Arlington Energy \u2014 a subsidiary of renewables energy giant Masdar it acquired<\/a> in 2022 \u2014 has broken ground on two battery energy storage systems in the UK as part of a GBP 1 bn investment program, according to a statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What we know: <\/strong>The plants will have a joint capacity of 55 MW, and will be able to power 25.7k households across the country. The plants are being established across previously industrialized sites as the company looks to focus on land in need of redevelopment and regeneration, the statement notes. <\/p>\n

More to come: <\/strong>The facilities are part of Arlington\u2019s 3 GWh pipeline of storage projects in the UK. Parent company Masdar plans to deploy<\/a> up to 5 GW in wind energy capacity and battery storage volume by 2030 through Arlington. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Masdar is expanding presence in the UK: <\/strong>Masdar signed an agreement<\/a> back during COP28 with German energy company RWE to purchase 49% of RWE\u2019s 3 GW Dogger Bank South offshore wind farms as part of its larger GBP 11 bn investment ticket into UK renewables. The acquisition will pave the way for Masdar and RWE to jointly co-develop the two offshore wind farms with construction starting as early as 2025. The first 800 MW of electricity is planned to come online in 2029 with the aim to fully commission the projects by late 2031.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
