Highview Power, the leading provider of long-duration, grid-scale energy storage in the UK, is at the forefront of the renewable energy transition. The company uses liquid air energy storage (LAES) to help balance energy supply and demand and provide backup power—especially crucial due to the variability of renewables such as solar and wind. Highview Power turned to AVEVA for flexible digital solutions that help it optimize across all phases of development, from design and procurement to operations. With early visibility of project challenges and supply chain optimization, Highview Power can scale its LAES solutions faster and more cost-effectively, ensuring the UK’s future energy security.
What [AVEVA] really allowed us to do is to look at the shape of our leadership, the team through each phase on engineering, procurement, and construction, and then also management interfaces, and know how the technology could support us moving that forward.
