en.Wedoany.com Reported - Energy infrastructure developer Revera Energy has made a final investment decision on the Hunterston battery storage project in North Ayrshire, with a capacity of 400 MW/800 MWh.
Revera Energy, an asset developer, owner, and operator backed by Carlyle, recently completed financial close and received approval to commence construction on the 200 MW/400 MWh Windyhill battery storage project in Glasgow, which is currently under construction. Revera expects the Hunterston project to begin construction in the third quarter of 2026. Additionally, the company is advancing the 400 MW/800 MWh Kincardine battery storage project in Fife, with construction anticipated to start in the first quarter of 2027.
The three projects—Windyhill, Hunterston, and Kincardine—represent a total investment of over £500 million in Scotland, with a combined capacity of 1 GW/2 GWh, forming one of the largest battery storage project portfolios in the country. These projects are expected to support approximately 550 direct construction jobs and 45 long-term operational roles, bringing economic investment to North Ayrshire, Glasgow, and Fife.
Daniel Kim, CEO of Revera Energy, stated that the final investment decision for Hunterston marks a significant milestone for the company, reflecting progress on its Scottish project portfolio. With a total investment of over £500 million across the three projects, they will play a role in strengthening the grid for households and businesses nationwide, while supporting jobs, economic growth, and long-term infrastructure development. The company is committed to advancing these projects in collaboration with local communities, stakeholders, and the government.
John Swinney, First Minister of Scotland, said that Revera's decision to invest in three major projects in Scotland with a combined value of over £500 million is a vote of confidence in the country's skills, economic policies, and energy future. This is one of the largest battery storage project portfolios under construction in the UK, demonstrating that Scotland is an internationally competitive destination for clean energy infrastructure investment. These projects will create jobs during construction and provide long-term positions, helping Scottish households and businesses access cleaner, more reliable electricity.
Richard Hoskins, Managing Director of Carlyle Infrastructure Group, noted that Carlyle invests in infrastructure businesses and assets critical to a resilient and affordable grid. The scale of investment in Revera's Scottish project portfolio reflects Carlyle's commitment to Scotland and the opportunity to support key grid infrastructure, local economic growth, and long-term value creation for communities and investors.
All three projects have secured positions under the UK's "Clean Power 2030" framework, highlighting their role in delivering the infrastructure needed to support a more flexible and resilient grid, enabling Scotland's abundant renewable energy to power homes and businesses across the country more reliably.
