Greener Grid Parks
As Great Britain generates increasing amounts of electricity from renewable sources, storage and innovative grid management is an essential component of a successful transition to a Net Zero energy system
We are proud to be actively developing grid stability schemes which help reduce the costs of generating electricity and contribute towards the goal of the National Energy Systems Operator (NESO) of running a zero-carbon electricity system.
About Greener Grid parks
Statkraft’s Greener Grid Parks are vital to the decarbonisation of our energy system. Our Greener Grid Parks are a collection of small buildings, usually located near substations, containing innovative technology designed to increase the amount of renewable energy transmitted through the national grid.
We are changing the energy landscape by providing the flexibility necessary to integrate increasing levels of renewables while maintaining security of supply.
Why do we need Greener Grid Parks?
