Spanish energy storage company E22 Energy Storage Solutions has set to work on its first project in Australia, a 5MW/7.5 MW Li-ion battery in Longwarry, VIC that is set to provide AusNet with much needed network services during the heights of summer congestion, Pv-magazine-australia.com reports.
Spanish companies are popping up all over Australia’s renewables industry, following the recent arrival of STI Norland, Fotowatio Renewable Ventures, X-Elio, Iberdrola, Elecnor, and now E22.
E22 specializes in the manufacture, supply and installation of energy storage systems (ESS), a specialization it is looking to show off in Longwarry, Victoria, where the firm is in the process of installing a 5 MW/7.5 MW lithium ion battery.
The battery will provide AusNet with much-needed network services as grid congestion will only get worse heading into the peak summer period. AusNet and E22 have a 5-year deal, and the battery is set for completion in early 2021.
