Keith Greener Grid Park
This project in Moray, Scotland, will be built throughout 2021 and will help increase the amount of renewable energy to be delivered on the National Grid network.
We have consent to install a facility near the Scottish and Southern Electricity Network transmission substation at Keith, located south of Western Road in Keith.
Permission was granted by Moray Council for this innovative project that will not only reduce the costs of generating more renewable electricity but will also assist to deliver National Grid ESO's target of being able to operate a zero-carbon electricity system by 2025.
The project will feature two Rotating Stabilisers synchronous machines from GE Power.
Statkraft has awarded a contract to Powersystems UK with civils subcontractor Knights Brown to undertake the electrical and civil engineering works for this £20 million grid project.
