SAE is pleased to announce it has received the penultimate milestone payment of £1.5 million under its agreement with EL (Uskmouth) Limited (“EL”), a subsidiary of FPC Electric Land.

On 5 December 2023, SAE announced that it had agreed to sell the freehold land owned by SAE to EL, for a milestone-linked total gross cash consideration of £9.8 million.

BESS project development

The land is being used for a 460MWh (230 MW) BESS being constructed by Uskmouth Energy Storage Limited. The EL land represents only a small proportion of the land owned by SAE at the Uskmouth site that is available for BESS project development. The milestone payment was received following the successful completion of civil works at the site.

The announcement marks the third milestone payment. The first £5.0 million payment was received on 28 March 2024, and the second £2.0 million payment was received on 28 May 2024.

Benefits of the USEP site

SAE looks forward to the continued good progress being made on the project. The final milestone will be paid following the delivery of 10% of the batteries for the project. 

SAE recently released a video animation highlighting the scale and benefits of the USEP site.
