Turnkey design and build installation of a 50MW/100MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Little Raith Farm near Cardenden, close to Lochgelly in Fife, Scotland. The complete installation was constructed in a 1 x 50MW phase with IUS the Principal Contractor under CDM for the whole scheme. All main items of the plant inclusive of the
containerised MV Switch room, Transformers, and the Tesla Megapack 2XL battery units were supplied free issue by Tesla to the site, offloaded, and installed by IUS. IUS completed all equipment electrical works and contestable elements of the supply connection to the local DNO (SPEN - Scottish Power Energy Networks) distribution network. 

"The IUS team has consistently delivered outstanding work at the Little Raith site. Their team operates with professionalism and strong attention to detail. Together, Tesla and IUS developed a partnership with a common goal of completing the battery energy storage project on time and with the highest quality possible.” 

Michał Kuciński, Sr Technical Project Manager, Tesla.
