Envision Energy, the global green technology firm, has been contracted to deliver two containerised LFP battery energy storage systems (BESS) for the Holstom and Drum Fram projects in Scotland, owned by the renewable energy company Field.
Each facility will have a 50MW/100MWh BESS that will deliver electricity to the grid.
The firm said that construction on Field’s Holmston project has started but construction at the Drum Farm project will commence in early autumn. Both projects due to be completed by the end of 2026.
Henry Peng, senior vice president and president of Latin America and European region, Envision Energy, said, “Scotland is a key market for Envision Energy, and our collaboration with Field demonstrates the trust in our technical expertise and proven solutions across battery energy storage. These two projects build on our growing portfolio in the United Kingdom as we continue to provide our solutions and expertise to deliver net zero power solutions. We are proud to bring our energy storage products tailored with a 15-year long-term service agreement to Scotland.”
Amit Gudka, CEO of Field, said, “Breaking ground at Holmston in South Ayrshire and soon at Drum Farm near Keith marks an important milestone for Field, as we work to accelerate the shift toward a cleaner, more secure energy system in Scotland and the wider UK. Battery storage in all its forms is a critical part of that journey, and we’re pleased to be working with Envision Energy to deliver advanced solutions that will strengthen the grid and support the growth of renewables.”
