Solar cells are supplying more and more energy to energy systems around the world. But the energy is of course greatest when the sun hits the panels. However, not all of the energy can always be used in the electricity grid. Energy production via PtX can be a solution for this.
But a more direct solution is also to store energy in large battery systems (Battery Energy Storage System, BESS). It is a solution that the solar energy company Nordic Solar believes in, and that is why the company will now invest in battery systems for their solar parks in the 12 countries in which they are present.
The first system is on its way in Zealand and will be built in Borup in Hillerød Municipality on Zealand and has a storage capacity of 10 MWh. The company states this in a statement.
- Market trends in energy show that a combination of solar energy and battery storage will play a key role in the energy transition. In the European market where we are active, there is a strong focus on being able to combine the production of solar energy with storage, not least from the system operator's side, because flexibility is absolutely crucial for the energy system now and in the future, says Nikolaj Holtet Hoff, CEO of Nordic Solar.
In addition to the project in Borup, Konkret currently has another 25 battery storage projects in the pipeline, and the total storage capacity in the portfolio is almost 1 GWh.
- We expect the market for battery storage to grow rapidly in the coming years, and with the entry into the BESS market, we open up a number of new opportunities to increase value creation in our European solar energy projects at different levels, says Nikolaj Holtet Hoff.
