Matrix Renewables Strikes Engineering, Procurement, And Construction Agreement With Tesla To Design, Construct, Commission 500 MW / 2-Hour Battery Energy Storage System In Scotland

Matrix Renewables has signed a Full EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) agreement with Tesla for the design, construction, and commissioning of a 500 MW / 2-hour (1 GWh) standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) located in Eccles, Scotland. This will be the first standalone BESS project for the company in the UK, directly supporting the UK's Net Zero 2050 target and Clean Power 2035 ambition.

All planning conditions for the project have been discharged, and full consent has been secured to commence construction. Strategically located along key transmission corridors between Scotland and England, the project will provide critical grid flexibility, enable greater renewable integration, and strengthen system resilience.
