The Bank''s financing is part of a £120 million debt package alongside NatWest, which will enable the construction of the short duration battery storage facility, providing a significant boost to grid stability and contributing to the UK''s energy security.
In January 2025, our battery energy storage research for Great Britain focused on the latest in BESS operations, buildout, and policy updates.
The UK is one of the most attractive European countries for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) investments. It currently has the highest installed grid-scale BESS capacity in Europe and offers diverse revenue streams, supported by strong governmental and grid operator backing.
Three new battery energy storage systems (BESS) have been powered up in the United Kingdom this week, including two from Macquarie Group offshore Eku Energy, and the largest battery yet to be
This deal marks a significant milestone as the first BESS financing in EMEA for Mizuho, reinforcing the bank''s commitment to supporting energy transition and decarbonisation.

The battery strategy describes how we will build on our comparative advantage, scale up our emerging supply chain, and continue to secure internationally mobile investment.
Deployment has been sluggish. Since 2021, when Masdar decided to invest £1bn in 3GWh of battery storage projects nationwide, progress has been stifled by systemic constraints.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are crucial for the energy transition, providing flexibility and stability to the grid. They store energy from renewable sources like solar and wind, and release it when needed, helping to balance supply and demand.
In January 2025, our battery energy storage research for Great Britain focused on the latest in BESS operations, buildout, and policy updates.
Constantine Energy Storage secures a £180 million financing deal for a landmark 612MW battery energy storage system (BESS) portfolio in the UK. Learn how this project will enhance grid stability and accelerate the renewable energy transition.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are crucial for the energy transition, providing flexibility and stability to the grid. They store energy from renewable sources like solar and wind, and release it when needed, helping to balance supply and demand. In the UK we are due to energise our first two UK batteries, based in Scotland, in spring 2025.
The deal marks the Bank’s second debt investment in the battery storage market following its £62.5 million commitment to Pulse Clean Energy in May, in addition to £200 million of investment into the Equitix UK Electricity Storage Fund and Gresham House Secure Income Renewable Energy & Storage LP (SIRES).
Battery energy storage revenues in Great Britain reached a rate of £88k/MW/year in January 2025, marking a 5% increase from December 2024 and the first back-to-back monthly revenue increase since early 2024. Source: Modo Energy Note: Monthly ME BESS GB revenues since January 2024
Projects like these can transform the energy landscape by producing 24/7 renewable power supply at utility scale. Yet in the UK, it is a different story. Deployment has been sluggish. Since 2021, when Masdar decided to invest £1bn in 3GWh of battery storage projects nationwide, progress has been stifled by systemic constraints.
Average duration of batteries in Great Britain stood at 1.4 hours by the end of 2024. 98% of new battery capacity added in Q4 had a duration of at least two hours, highlighting a shift toward longer-duration storage for greater flexibility.
