“Scotland is at the forefront of developing the technology required for the energy transition, including the innovative battery storage that will deliver real benefits for citizens and support our ongoing efforts for a just transition to net zero by 2045.
“I am delighted to see the progress Invinity have made since my last visit, with this new facility key to the scaling of their production.”

Ms. Martin was given a guided tour of the recently opened 26,000 sq.ft facility and met with key members of Invinity’s staff, including a number who have transitioned from the oil and gas sector. During the visit, Ms. Martin received updates on the deployment of Invinity’s technology in the UK and around the world and discussed the role that Invinity’s products are playing in accelerating progress towards Net Zero in Scotland and beyond. This is the second time Ms. Martin has visited an Invinity facility in Scotland, having previously toured the Company’s factory in Bathgate in July 2023.
“We are delighted to have once again welcomed Ms. Martin to our facility and demonstrate Invinity’s rapid growth in the 12 months since her last visit. Our Scottish operations are integral to our global business and we are extremely grateful for the significant level of engagement received from both the UK and Scottish Governments in recent times. We applaud the launch of Great British Energy and the decision to headquarter it in Scotland and look forward to working with all stakeholders over the coming months to turbocharge the UK’s journey to Net Zero.”
