About Coalburn
Coalburn is a battery storage site in South Lanarkshire. It began operating in August 2026, according to Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.
Its 512 MW of registered generating capacity is spread across 5 balancing mechanism units. Every half hour each unit tells the grid how much it will generate (its physical notification): that is the live figure above, and GridMonkey records it every half hour for the chart.
Battery stations charge when power is cheap and plentiful and discharge at the peaks, in seconds. Their output swings between charging and discharging through the day.
