Overview

• Ampeak’s AW1 battery has reached financial close, enabling the 120 MW/240 MWh project at Uskmouth in South Wales.
• EDF signed a long-term agreement to commercially optimise the facility, reinforcing its role as the UK’s largest optimiser of battery and flexible assets.
• EDF will deploy its Powershift platform and trading team to maximise the project’s commercial performance and deliver power when it is needed most.
• The project converts a former coal-fired power station into one of Britain’s largest battery storage sites to strengthen energy security and lower carbon emissions.
• Ampeak describes AW1 as its flagship and a foundation for expanding Uskmouth into a major battery-led sustainable energy park.
