Regulatory News:
Electro Power Systems S.A. (“EPS”) (Paris:EPS),
technology pioneer in energy storage systems and microgrids, listed
on the French-regulated market Euronext Paris (EPS:FP) announces
the signing with Endesa of an EPC contract for the design,
construction and commissioning of a 20MW utility-scale storage
system.
EPS will deliver a unique turnkey solution for serving Endesa’s
thermoelectric plant Carboneras located in Almeria, Spain. The
storage system will be the largest in Spain and will be composed by
24 inverters, 16 containers of which 8 for PCS and 8 for Li-ion
storage, with a total installed capacity of 20MW/11.7MWh.
The installation of this utility-scale system aims to make the
plant more flexible and improve its response to the load
fluctuations in the current electricity system resulting from the
intermittency caused by an increased penetration of renewables. The
addition of storage is also expected to reduce maintenance costs
for the plant’s main components and extend their useful life.
The project is part of the general evolution of the Carboneras
coal plant to better serve the current electricity system. A
significant penetration of intermittent renewable energies, mainly
wind power, are forcing the plant to adjust its production and
implement backup functions to meet electricity demand at all
times.
“This contract confirms that EPS belongs to a selected pool of
global players, able to deliver on a turnkey basis utility-scale
storage systems to the world's leading energy companies” stated
Giuseppe Artizzu, Executive Director - Strategy and Business
Development of EPS.
Carlalberto Guglielminotti, CEO of EPS Group also stated:
“Is an exceptional result for EPS and confirms the competitiveness
of our cutting-edge technology”.
The project is expected to become operational by June 2018.
