BESS Projects
Energy storage projects are located in strategic areas of our operations and in locations where investment success is secured. The role of BESS installations is crucial. Large-scale BESS reduce the need for costly grid expansion by combining high efficiency with fast response. They balance short-term differences between energy supply and demand and enable more reliable and widespread integration of renewable energy sources into power grids.
The success of the energy transition depends on the use of smart integrations of sustainable technologies. Battery energy storage systems are one such solution, allowing us to fully harness the potential of renewable energy sources.
Large-scale stationary storage systems provide the right amount of renewable energy when needed. Strategic placement of BESS throughout the power grid helps reduce the need for expansion by making better use of existing infrastructure.
Energy storage in standalone batteries or in combination with renewable energy sources provides flexibility and security of electricity supply.
This investment ensures system stability while also creating opportunities for additional revenue through capacity contracts, providing a stable income source over the long term.
E-ammonia and e-methanol
E-ammonia and e-methanol are alternative fuels produced from zero-emission hydrogen using renewable energy. Their potential is significant due to the need for decarbonizing the transport sector. New requirements for various sectors, such as road transport, maritime transport, and aviation, are outlined in the RED III Directive. The key component of these e-fuels is green hydrogen.
We pay particular attention in our investments to:
- installations using green hydrogen for the synthesis of e-ammonia and e-methanol
- integration with local CO₂ sources (biogas, industry) and renewable energy sources
- storage and logistics enabling delivery to industry and the transport sector
- ensuring high process efficiency and compliance with safety standards
DSR – Demand Side Response
DSR refers to demand-side flexibility. It involves shifting or reducing energy consumption in response to market or system signals. DSR helps balance the grid amid a growing share of intermittent renewable energy sources.
Benefits and applications of DSR:
- rapid system relief during peak periods
- reduced need for reserve capacity and lower system costs
- better utilization of renewable energy by reducing curtailment
- engagement of industry, commercial facilities, and flexibility service aggregators
