**Ampeak Energy Limited** (LON:AMP) was delighted to host a groundbreaking ceremony
at its Uskmouth Sustainable Energy Park to celebrate the financial close of its 
flagship AW1 Battery Storage Project. Political and business leaders were joined
by the world-leading project team to see the progress being made on the AW1 Project
and plans for future developments at the site.  

The Uskmouth Sustainable Energy Park is on track to become one of the largest battery
storage facilities in the UK. Its regeneration from a coal-fired power station to
an energy park fit for the future is being delivered by the site’s owners and operators,
Ampeak Energy.

> **Graham Reid, Ampeak Energy CEO, commented:**
> “The event was a great way to mark one of the most significant milestones in our
> history. The AW1 Project is already proving to be a catalyst for regeneration,
> and we would like to thank all those involved in bringing our vision to reality.
> This was a great opportunity to showcase why this is such a strategically important
> site. The pace of delivery is a credit to the team, and its ability to be delivered
> quickly is vital as the country needs these projects online to support our energy
> system. Our project partners and stakeholders were amazed at the scale of the 
> work on site, but also how much land is still available for future projects.
> With construction of AW1 already underway and on schedule, and planning due this
> year on the AW2 project, which is twice the size of AW1, I am proud that we continue
> to ensure that our vision becomes a reality.”

> **Jessica Morden MP for Newport East, commented:**
> “This is a crucial site for our city, and for the future of Newport’s growing 
> data and tech industries.
> For decades, the Uskmouth site powered heavy industry and played a vital role 
> in our local economy. Now, as it transforms into a sustainable energy park, it
> will help power the industries and jobs of tomorrow.
> Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this exciting project to life.”
