Alinea Customs is an independent UK customs brokerage and regulated tax agent, with inhouse legal and compliance expertise related to customs and international trade.
The Carrington plant is the first in Highview’s pipeline of commercial-scale liquid air energy storage (LAES) plants in the UK, and will deliver 300 MWh of storage and an output of 50 MW for six hours; enough clean, renewable energy to serve 480,000 homes. The facility will connect to existing substation and transmission infrastructure in the local area and will incorporate a dedicated stability island. This will support grid resilience by stabilising the local network and enhancing energy security against outages and blackouts.

“Alinea Customs welcome the opportunity to support Highview with the roll-out of liquid air energy storage as an alternative to fossil fuels, helping to secure domestically produced clean power in the United Kingdom. Our robust inhouse operations deliver efficient import and export clearance, underpinned by advanced digital capabilities and extensive customs and advisory experience across the energy, plant, and industrial sectors.”
Alinea Customs’ role will include the provision of customs clearance at ports across the United Kingdom, alongside customs and trade compliance consultancy. This will address indirect taxation, global supply chains, and advisory support in relation to the forthcoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
