The award of this Principal Contractor Agreement, in conjunction with the battery supply agreement previously signed with Shanghai Election Gotion New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., paves the way for construction to begin in early July 2022.

We’re very pleased to have found such a partner with their capabilities, dedication and the resources to support Pacific Green as we rapidly scale up our battery energy park developments in the UK to 1.1 GW and beyond.”
As well as the Principal Contractor Agreement, Pacific Green has also awarded Instalcom with an operations and maintenance contract (the “Operations & Maintenance Agreement”) to provide comprehensive operations and maintenance services for Pacific Green’s Richborough Energy Park. The Operations & Maintenance Agreement will begin at the start of Richborough Energy Park’s commercial operations via the UK’s National Grid in June 2023.
Vince Bowler, Instalcom’s Managing Director, remarked: “Instalcom is very excited to be supporting Pacific Green in the development and delivery of this low carbon technology project that will make a positive contribution to the UK’s Build Back Greener Net Zero Strategy.”
