EDTECH: LEVERAGING AI-POWERED TECHNOLOGIES TO TRANSFORM THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
1. Technology overview
Highview Power is an energy infrastructure business headquartered in London, UK, that designs, builds and operates grid-scale long-duration energy storage assets. It describes itself as building on 17 years of experience and combining analytics, technology and strategic finance.
Its technology is liquid-air energy storage: surplus electricity liquefies air, which is later re-expanded to drive turbines. Projects on the site include the Carrington plant near Manchester, where ground was broken in November 2025, and phase one at Hunterston in Ayrshire, which raised GBP 130 million in November 2025. Customers are governments, grid operators and enterprises.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Liquid-air storage: electricity liquefies air that is re-expanded to generate power.
- Grid stability: Carrington combines stability capability with storage.
- Large projects: Carrington in Manchester and Hunterston in Ayrshire.
- Capital programme: GBP 130 million raised for Hunterston phase one.
- Full lifecycle: design, build and operation of assets.
3. Potential application
Grid-scale long-duration storage for national or regional utilities. Stability services for grids with high renewable share. Joint development with ASEAN developers of large solar parks.
4. Benefits
Grid-scale storage that uses no lithium and can run for long durations.
Includes grid stability services alongside energy storage.
Track record of financing: funding passed GBP 500 million in 2025.
Developer, builder and operator model reduces delivery risk for buyers.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Countries with fast renewable growth are creating policy support for long-duration storage, such as the UK cap and floor scheme. Non-lithium technologies are attracting grid-scale investment. Vietnam and ASEAN utilities planning large solar and wind build-outs may consider long-duration options for system stability.
