Executive Summary

• Power Electronics says it has reached 11GW AC of installed capacity in the UK, which remains the company’s ‘oldest and most strategic’ market in Europe
• The company noted the changing UK energy sphere, backed by renewables and rapid growth in energy storage, and addressed its capabilities to address the UK’s evolving challenges
• Among its solutions in the UK include the PCSM battery inverter, alongside the HEM solar inverter and the Freesun DC/DC converter

Power Electronics has touted its long-standing track record in the UK energy market announcing it has reached 11GW AC of installed capacity – and is looking forward to addressing ‘new critical applications’ such as data centres.

The company’s solutions in the UK include the PCSM battery inverter, offering power ratings of up to 5,360 kVA in a fully integrated medium-voltage architecture, alongside the HEM solar inverter and the Freesun DC/DC converter, for highly efficient hybrid solar plus storage configurations.

The company’s projects in the UK range from solar to storage developments. The first UK solar plant, commissioned in 2011, remains operational today, while the company also outlined a recent energy storage project in 2025. The project involved 145 PCSK battery inverters for the first phase of what the company described as a ‘major’ battery energy storage system (BESS) site. The PCSKs are battery inverters for utility-scale applications and can enable up to four BESS to operate simultaneously. The second phase of development includes another 150 PCSK units.

Power Electronics noted that the UK energy space is changing, through increasing renewables, rapid growth in energy storage and a strong pipeline of data centre developments. These trends ‘require technologies capable of delivering high availability and grid stability under increasingly complex operating scenarios’, the company noted – and it feels well-placed to win in these emerging markets through ‘robust system architectures, advanced grid-forming capabilities and fully integrated medium-voltage solutions.’

“Reliability over 15 or 20 years is not achieved through design alone,” said Borja Monzo, Power Electronics UK country manager. “It requires manufacturing quality, proven technology, and a service organisation capable of supporting assets throughout their entire operational life.

“That combination is what allows us to lead the UK storage market and support new applications such as data centres,” Monzo added.

Last month, Power Electronics published a case study of a major European charging hub – based in the UK – whose infrastructure was struggling with rapidly growing EV traffic. The solution was to deploy the company’s NB Station 1.44 MW ultra-fast charging system paired with 8 Slim double dispensers, creating a configuration of 16 simultaneous charging points where power can be intelligently distributed, or deliver up to 360 kW to four points simultaneously. The configuration allowed the operator to manage unpredictable traffic flows, adapt to spikes in demand, and maintain a smooth charging experience for users.
