Statkraft’s Greener Grid Parks (GGP’s)
Statkraft is actively developing battery energy storage and other technologies which will not only reduce the costs of generating electricity but will also assist to deliver National Grid Electricity System Operator’s (ESO’s) target of being able to operate a zero-carbon electricity system by 2025.
Statkraft will be establishing a fund for the benefit of local communities near each of its Greener Grid Parks, of c£20,000 per annum. Grants will focus on projects that help accelerate the transition to a low carbon society.
GrantScape is delighted to confirm it has been appointed to administer these funds.
