Solar and storage developer Amberside Energy has called on Black & Veatch to help develop an initial 2GW of solar and battery storage projects. The projects are expected to range in capacity from 20MW to 100MW across Great Britain.
Black & Veatch will deliver technical advisory and support services for Amberside’s Solar & Storage Portfolio Framework Agreement. This covers standalone solar PV, standalone battery and co-located solar PV and battery sites. As well as planning and design of solar and battery storage systems Black & Veatch will plan and design the electricity distribution and transmission assets and manage interfaces with National Grid and distribution network operators.
“These projects add vital energy to the grid in challenging times. As both a developer and asset optimiser, Amberside Energy’s innovative and forward-thinking approach to this major solar and storage portfolio comes at a pivotal time,” commented Robbie Gibson, Associate Vice President & UK Director, Black & Veatch.
