A 500MW storage project in Aberdeenshire has been approved, adding new power storage capacity to the grid.

The trace

How it reaches your house.

Starting from Grid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP/Li-ion), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.

First impact
Grid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP Lithium Iron Phosphate) →supply up
Electricity (residential)
The approved 500MW storage addition should make stored electricity more available on the grid, modestly improving residential electricity supply through this dependency.
74% confidence
Grid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP/Li-ion) →Stands to benefit
China
China supplies 75% of the input base, so most incremental storage-build demand is likely to flow there.
74% confidence
Grid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP/Li-ion) →Stands to benefit
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited300750.SZ
A consented 500MW Li-ion BESS implies future battery-cell procurement, and CATL's 45% share with low substitutability makes it a likely beneficiary.
Hop 2
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited →Stands to benefit
Grid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP/Li-ion)
Approval of a 500MW storage project raises demand for grid-scale LFP/Li-ion systems, and CATL has a 45% share with long replacement lead time.
84% confidence
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited →Stands to benefit
Grid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP Lithium Iron Phosphate)
The added storage capacity should lift demand for LFP chemistry, and CATL is a major supplier at 36% share.
80% confidence
Electricity (residential) →Prices ease
Natural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane)
Hop 3
Natural Gas (Pipeline-Grade, >95% Methane) →supply up
Electricity (residential)
The added storage capacity likely eases reliance on gas-fired balancing, and this strong gas-to-residential-electricity dependency means electricity availability should improve.
57% confidence
Natural Gas (Pipeline-Grade) →Prices ease
Kinder Morgan, Inc.KMI
If added grid storage trims gas-fired balancing demand, pipeline-grade gas pricing softens, and Kinder Morgan's 40% supply share makes it the largest exposed supplier.
47% confidence
Natural Gas (Pipeline-Grade) →Prices ease
