SAE Renewables receives penultimate milestone payment of £1.5m for BESS project

SAE Renewables Limited (LON:SAE) has announced it has received the penultimate milestone payment of £1.5m 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 £9.8m. The land is being used for a 460MWh (230MW) 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 available for BESS project development. The milestone payment was received following the successful completion of civil works at the site.

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