Statkraft acquires a 450 MW water battery to store green energy
Located next to the lake that is the legendary home of the Loch Ness monster – 14km south-west of Inverness, the project will capture excess renewable energy and store it until needed,
Norwegian hydropower electricity producer Statkraft - which describes itself as Europe's largest renewable power generator - has announced it will acquire the Red John Pumped Storage Hydro Scheme from Scottish clean energy development company Intelligent Land Investments Group (ILI). Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed. ILI took the 450MW Red John Pumped Storage Hydro project from initial conception to being development ready after was first conceived in 2015. The scheme was granted consent by Scottish Government ministers in June 2021, and which point it was costed at £550M.
There is over 5GW of pumped storage hydro projects in the UK pipeline which will inject billions into the economy and create over 15,000 new jobs. We encourage the UK Government to provide the support mechanisms now for long duration storage and strive to become a world leader in achieving net-zero.”
