Projects

Through greenfield origination and development partnerships, we have grown a pipeline of about 7GW across the UK, Australia, Italy, Germany and Sweden, with over 1GWh of projects currently in construction.


United Kingdom

In the UK, BW ESS plans to build over 2GW of BESS.

Our portfolio is uniquely focused on large capacity (>100MW) and long duration sites (2-5hrs) in the Midlands and South of England. This strategy ensures we have sites that are close to load, offer economies of scale and remain future proof in a market that is moving away from grid support and towards wholesale energy arbitrage.

Nordics

In the Nordics, we have invested in and partnered with Ingrid Capacity, a leader and pioneer within the Nordic BESS space, with a pipeline exceeding 500MW. BW ESS and Ingrid are also assessing potential opportunities in other Nordic countries.

Since October 2024, 211MW of BESS projects have been deployed (SE3/SE4 price zones), ranging in capacity between 5MW and 20MW. The batteries are generally of a one-hour duration, as they are targeting the grid support market.

Australia

In Australia, we have established Valent Energy an investment platform with over 1.6GW of utility-scale battery projects, including three in Victoria and New South Wales that are fully approved and ready-to-build. Valent is a partnership with Gaw Capital Partners, a private equity firm with sizeable investments in real estate, renewables and digital infrastructure.

Italy

In Italy, we have partnered with ACL Energy, a Milan-based BESS developer, on 14 development stage projects totalling 2.9 GW.

Our portfolio is focused on large capacity (>100 MW) and longer duration projects (4-8 hours) located in the North and South power market zones.
