Gore Street Capital Deploys Advanced Battery Analytics for Better Insurance Terms on UK Energy Projects

Gore Street Capital, the investment manager for Gore Street Energy Storage Fund, has recently announced the deployment of a cloud-based battery data analytics solution from ACCURE, a German technology provider. This initiative marks a strategic move to leverage advanced artificial intelligence-driven software to enhance the management and safety of battery storage projects.

The software, deployed at Gore Street’s 80MW Stony project and 10MW Lower Road project in the UK, utilizes predictive analytics to mitigate risks such as thermal runaway events, which can lead to fires. The implementation of this technology is expected to not only reduce operational issues but also significantly improve the safety and performance of the battery systems.

A pivotal aspect of this deployment is the favorable impact on insurance terms. By integrating ACCURE’s analytics solutions, Gore Street has managed to secure enhanced insurance conditions, reflecting a deepened understanding and management of risks associated with battery energy storage systems (BESS). This adjustment in insurance terms is anticipated to set a precedent in the UK, potentially influencing broader industry standards and practices.

The technology was also planned for deployment at Gore Street’s upcoming 50MW Ferrymuir BESS project. The strategic use of this technology showcases Gore Street’s commitment to adopting cutting-edge solutions to improve the safety, efficiency, and profitability of its energy storage investments.
