据电力新闻伦敦报道，1月25日，英国电池储能开发商Eelpower与瑞士的SUSI基础设施合作伙伴公司签署了一项合资协议，以加速Eelpower在英国的储能投资组合的推广。
合资企业的第一阶段将在今年2月开始在苏格兰邓迪附近的Dunsinane建设一个50兆瓦电池储存项目，这个项目是从Gigabox开发公司收购的。
双方均没有提供有关这笔交易的任何财务细节。
SUSI在一份声明中表示，“这项合资企业协议旨在进一步满足英国对能源储存能力的需求，并在不久的将来提供更多项目的巨大潜力。”
Eelpower首席执行官马克?西蒙表示，“我们期待与SUSI和最佳的市场交易对手合作，因为我们正在建设和运营高性能电网连接储存资产组合，以建设1吉瓦电力储存公用设施。”
Eelpower表示，SUSI还购买了Eelpower现有的40兆瓦的储能资产，这些资产和新资产将继续由Eelpower管理。
此次收购包括两项综合产能为30兆瓦的运营资产和一项准备建设的10兆瓦资产。
SUSI表示，“与英国领先公用事业公司(包括森特里卡在2020年12月)签订的创新承揽合同，巩固了收入的可视性，并提高了资产的风险回报。”
SUSI基础设施合作伙伴公司是一家受监管的私人基金管理公司，总部位于瑞士。该公司拥有15亿欧元(18.2亿美元)的投资者基金，主要投资于全球能源转型资产。

UK battery storage developer Eelpower signs joint venture deal with Swiss fund
UK battery storage developer Eelpower has entered a joint venture agreement with SUSI Infrastructure Partners of Switzerland to accelerate the rollout of Eelpower's UK energy storage portfolio, Eelpower and SUSI Partners said Jan. 25.
A first stage of the JV triggers the start of construction in February of a 50 MW battery storage project at Dunsinane, near Dundee, Scotland, acquired from Gigabox Developments.
No financial details were given "The partnership agreement aims to further contribute to meeting the demand for energy storage capacity in the UK, with substantial potential for additional projects in the near future," SUSI said in a statement.
"We look forward to working with [SUSI] and the best route-to-market counterparties as we construct and operate a portfolio of high-performance grid-connected storage assets SUSI has also bought 40 MW of Eelpower's existing storage assets, which along with new assets would continue to be managed by Eelpower, the developer said.
The acquisition includes two operational assets with a combined capacity of 30 MW and "Innovative offtake contracts with leading UK utilities (including Centrica in December 2020) underpin the visibility of revenues and enhance the assets' risk-return profile," SUSI said.
SUSI Partners is a regulated private fund manager headquartered in Switzerland. It has Eur1.5 billion ($1.82 billion) in investor funds and is focused on global energy transition assets.
