UK energy storage investor Gore Street Energy Storage Fund raised £135 million (US$187.89 million) towards deploying a 1.3GW development pipeline, with the funds also to be used for a potential 80MW acquisition for its portfolio of battery projects.
This potential acquisition is expected in the coming weeks, the fund said, with net proceeds of the fundraise to also be deployed in relation to accelerating development of its existing portfolio including the expansion of its Republic of Ireland assets from 30MW to 90MW. This was announced in late 2020, with both the Porterstown 30MW project and the 30MW Kilmannock project to be expanded.
