TEMPORIS PARTNERS WITH CLARKE ENERGY AND TRINA STORAGE ON 100MWh BESS PROJECT IN SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS

Temporis Capital, Clarke Energy and Trina Storage are proud to announce they have entered into construction contracts to deliver a 50MW/100MWh Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) at Boat of Garten in the Scottish Highlands, with Clarke Energy providing the EPC wrap and Trina Storage supplying the BESS system, including its Elementa solution for the project.

The Boat of Garten BESS is scheduled for operations in Q1 2026 and will provide valuable support to the electricity network in Scotland, through the delivery of essential grid balancing and stability services needed to help the UK reduce carbon emissions and progress towards achieving its net zero goals.

As part of the deal, Clarke Energy are providing a 16-year full O&M agreement providing 24/7 performance monitoring, preventative and corrective maintenance, together with Trina Storage, who are also providing performance guarantees for the Elementa units through the life of the project.

The project was developed by Whirlwind Energy Storage, with a strong focus on delivering biodiversity net gains through a comprehensive landscape planting plan which establishes new trees, shrubland and wildflower meadows in keeping with the setting of the project. Whirlwind will retain a minority interest in the project.

Tom Harada, Investment Director, Temporis Capital , said:

“We are pleased to have reached such a critical milestone in contributing to the drive towards clean energy supply in the UK. This project is Temporis’ first BESS project and is one of three being developed within its funds. We believe BESS projects will play a prominent role in alleviating the pressure on the grid, as generation from renewable sources increases.”

Adam Wray-Summerson, Head of Sustainable Solutions of Clarke Energy Limited, said:

“Clarke Energy are thrilled to have been selected as the delivery partner for Temporis’ Boat of Garten Project. In wrapping Trina Storage Elementa BESS equipment in the overall EPC contract, Clarke Energy are helping to minimise delivery risk for our client and ensuring longevity of equipment performance throughout the life of the project – helping to support the necessary deployment of energy storage needed as the electricity grid continues to decarbonise.”

Gabriele Buccini, Head of Trina Storage, said:

“It is a great honour to be working with our valued partners, Temporis Capital and Clarke Energy, on this project. We share a common goal of decarbonising the energy industry in Scotland and the UK more widely. This collaboration underscores Trina Storage’s commitment to continuous growth and innovation, as our vertically integrated Elementa storage system delivers cutting-edge solutions that support the transition to a sustainable energy future.”
