Demand-side response (DSR) aggregator KiWi Power is rolling out behind-the-meter battery storage on commercial and industrial sites. It has developed and financed a 4MW lithium-ion battery to be located at Cenin Renewables, Parc Stormy in Bridgend, South Wales. The battery will sit within Cenin’s cluster of integrated clean technologies, which includes a low-carbon cement facility, 3,000 PV solar panels, an anaerobic digestion plant and a wind turbine.

The battery is expected to be running by March 2018 and will supply ancillary services to National Grid.
