The project will deploy HiTHIUM’s latest containerized BESS technology built around its proprietary 314Ah prismatic cells, designed for long lifespan, enhanced safety, and grid-scale scalability. According to the announcement, the solution is engineered to provide high efficiency and cost-effective storage over time, key for supporting increasing renewable penetration. The company also emphasized its ongoing commitment to localizing operations in the UK, with dedicated delivery teams and a growing support infrastructure already in place. Since launching its European division in 2023, HiTHIUM has established engineering, sales, and service capabilities aimed at ensuring rapid project execution and long-term system reliability.
As HiTHIUM continues to expand across Europe, the UK project strengthens its role as a major player in global energy storage.
