Zenobē Launches 300MW Battery Storage System in Kilmarnock, Scotland
Zenobē has launched its 300MW/600MWh battery energy storage system in Kilmarnock, Scotland, as part of a £1bn investment in battery storage and clean transportation. This facility increases Zenobē's operational capacity in the UK to 731MW, with an additional 568MW under construction, and will provide Stability Services using grid-forming inverters. The project employs Wärtsilä's Quantum technology and is part of a broader legal challenge against Ofgem's cap and floor scheme.

Zenobē has commenced commercial operations at its 300MW/600MWh Kilmarnock South battery energy storage system in Scotland. The project, completed in under two years, is part of Zenobē's £1bn investment in battery storage and clean transportation in Scotland.
With this launch, Zenobē's operational capacity in the UK increases to 731MW, with an additional 568MW/1230MWh under construction. Kilmarnock South will provide Stability Services using grid-forming inverters, making it the second UK battery energy storage system to do so, following Zenobē's Blackhillock.
The battery utilizes Wärtsilä's Quantum technology and collaborates with Omexom and EDF Energy. Zenobē is also challenging Ofgem's cap and floor scheme in court, claiming it distorts competition between energy storage technologies.
