The system at one of Galp's solar plants will enable it to adjust its PV production profile and meet its energy requirements. This project marks Powin's first venture in Europe.
This project marks Powin's first venture in Europe. Global energy storage supplier Powin LLC and Portuguese integrated energy company Galp have partnered to install a utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Algarve, Portugal. The 5 MW/20 MWh battery system will be built at one of Galp's solar power plants near the village of Alcoutim.
The first megawatt-scale wave energy project in Porto will demonstrate significant energy production from ocean waves and serve as a critical step towards the commercialisation of Eco Wave Power's technology globally.
“Europe is expected to implement more than 90 GWh of large-scale battery energy storage projects by 2030, and we are well positioned to support this demand and keep up with the rapid growth of energy storage in the wider European region, Middle East and Africa,” he stated.
Though it should be said that that project, launched by Multinational utility Engie and renewables developer Neoen, has a much smaller BESS at 40MW. The 628MW Pego coal power plant was the last in the country and stopped producing electricity with coal in November last year, marking the end of Portugal's era of coal use.
As Energy-Storage.news wrote at the time the project was announced, the BESS will allow EEM to increase the island's renewable energy mix to 50%, black start parts of the network and restore grid operations after outages. The system is made up of Fluence's lithium iron phosphate-based (LFP) modular energy storage product.
