Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) through its flagship funds has taken final investment decision and commenced construction on a 500 MW energy storage system in Coalburn, Scotland.
The facility is the first project to be developed from the partnership between CIP and Alcemi to deploy 4 GW of energy storage assets across the UK and will be one of the largest of its kind in Europe, says the company.
The Coalburn 1 facility has been developed with landscaping and ecological mitigation measures, including the maintenance of peat reserves, as well as tree and wildflower promoting biodiversity across the site.
“Achieving final investment decision on one of the largest battery projects in Europe is a significant milestone for CIP,” says Nischal Agarwal, partner at CIP.
“It demonstrates CIP’s industrial approach in identifying a market need and delivering a large-scale project with a robust contractual framework with high quality partners and counterparties. The integration of renewable energy into the energy system requires significant investment into storage solutions and we have a significant pipeline of storage projects across the world which we hope to build in the years ahead.”
Canadian Solar’s e-STORAGE will deliver their proprietary energy storage solution, SolBank, while H&MV Engineering will undertake the balance of plant works. SSE Energy Markets will provide the optimisation services for the project.

The meme here depicts where the United States has gone recently. Our president starts an illegal and unnecessary war.
Can he stop it? Neither quickly nor easily.
Does he deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? Absolutely.
In case it’s not already clear, Trump supporters buy virtually zero of Neil Young’s music, if only because it’s aggressively anti-racist, e.g. “Southern Man,” and “Alabama.”
Imagine you’re a white person living in the Deep South, and you come across these lyrics: “Alabama, you have the rest of the union to help you along. What’s going wrong?”
How large is your appetite for this man’s music?
Here’s another reminder of how far to the extreme low brow right the American conservative movement has swung.
The only political experience Mike Lindell has comes from his having eagerly accepted Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was rigged with massive voter fraud, for which there is exactly zero evidence.
As a consequence, Lindell is facing multiple lawsuits, including a June 2025 verdict ordering him to pay $2.3 million to a former Dominion Voting Systems employee for defamation. He also faces lawsuits from Smartmatic for defamation and a suit over a $3 million unpaid loan.
That’s it, folks. No experiencing running a small town in Alabama, let alone a state full of well-educated progressives in which Trump lost to Kamala Harris by a full 4% in 2024.
