AW1 Groundbreaking Ceremony

 

 

Ampeak Energy was delighted to host a groundbreaking ceremony at its Uskmouth
Sustainable Energy Park to celebrate the financial close of its flagship AW1
Battery Storage Project (the "AW1 Project"). Political and business leaders
were joined by the world-leading project team to see the progress being made
on the AW1 Project and plans for future developments at the site.

 

The Uskmouth Sustainable Energy Park is on track to become one of the largest
battery storage facilities in the UK. Its regeneration from a coal-fired power
station to an energy park fit for the future is being delivered by the site's
owners and operators, Ampeak Energy.

 

Graham Reid, Ampeak Energy CEO, commented:

 

"The event was a great way to mark one of the most significant milestones in
our history. The AW1 Project is already proving to be a catalyst for
regeneration, and we would like to thank all those involved in bringing our
vision to reality.

 

This was a great opportunity to showcase why this is such a strategically
important site. The pace of delivery is a credit to the team, and its ability
to be delivered quickly is vital as the country needs these projects online to
support our energy system. Our project partners and stakeholders were amazed
at the scale of the work on site, but also how much land is still available
for future projects.

 

With construction of AW1 already underway and on schedule, and planning due
this year on the AW2 project, which is twice the size of AW1, I am proud that
we continue to ensure that our vision becomes a reality."

 

Jessica Morden MP for Newport East, commented:

 

"This is a crucial site for our city, and for the future of Newport's growing
data and tech industries.

 

For decades, the Uskmouth site powered heavy industry and played a vital role
in our local economy. Now, as it transforms into a sustainable energy park, it
will help power the industries and jobs of tomorrow.

 

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this exciting project to
life."
