Battery storage system for Engie Laborelec

Entech will supply a battery storage system for Engie Laborelec to be installed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) on the island of Eday in the Orkney Islands in northern Scotland.

This order is part of the FORWARD2030 project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme.

The 1.2MW/1.5MWh Lithium-ion battery storage system supplied by Entech is designed to explore the benefits of co-location of storage with tidal stream energy to meet evolving grid system requirements in response to higher penetrations of renewable energy and towards developing additional project revenue streams.

For Christopher Franquet, Entech’s Chairman and CEO: “This project for EMEC in Scotland is our second collaboration with ENGIE Laborelec following the commissioning of SPORE project in Singapore last year. It illustrates the quality of our solutions, as well as our capacity for innovation on international research projects”.
