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?
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Our Greener Grid Park projects
Baillie Greener Grid Park
We have identified an opportunity to install a Greener Grid Park at Baillie, west of Thurso.

Neilston Greener Grid Park
Statkraft received planning consent for the first phase of Neilston Greener Grid Park in Renfrewshire in May 2022. The initial 50MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project is expected to complete construction and start storing energy in 2026. In August 2026, Statkraft received approval for our Section 36 application to the Scottish Government for an increase in the operating capacity of Neilston Greener Grid Park from 50 MW to 750MW.

Richborough Greener Grid Park
Greener Grid Parks, including this one proposed south of Richborough Energy Park, will help achieve a renewables-ready network. As renewable energy generation increases across Great Britain, new ways to maintain system stability are required. Our proposal does not relate to a solar or battery project, but is essential infrastructure to support the nearby 400kV National Grid substation.
