The portfolio included major BESS projects such as Bicker Fen, Stocking Pelham, Stow Manor, Ansty, and Maes Melin, along with the 50 MW Malice Farm hybrid project and two 50 MW / 200 MWh projects at Hollybush and Dunbar. FRV previously operated 140 MW / 280 MWh across Holes Bay, Contego, and Clay Tye in the UK.
