China-headquartered Sungrow said last week (11 August) that it will supply 127MWh of its PowerTitan liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (BESS) technology for deployment across six locations around the country.
Will Enlight & Sungrow supply 430 MWh energy storage system in Israel?
Enlight and Sungrow have signed an agreement to supply 430 MWh energy storage system in Israel in one of the largest storage projects to be installed
Why is Sungrow launching a solar energy storage business in Israel?
James Wu, Vice President of Sungrow also commented, “The advanced liquid cooled ESS technologies we offer make it easier for our customers to turn more solar energy into assets. Israel is the key market for Sungrow to expand the global business. The booming of renewable energy entails a broader trajectory for energy storage development.
What is the ESS agreement in Israel?
The contract is the largest ESS agreement signed to date in Israel, bolstering the country's energy transition and marking a massive scale-up in installations for the newly launched system. Last year the Israeli government introduced its goal of generating 30% of its electricity needs via renewables by 2030.
Why is Israel a key market for Sungrow?
Israel is the key market for Sungrow to expand the global business. The booming of renewable energy entails a broader trajectory for energy storage development. Through our efforts, we have seen an intense desire by the people and the government to continue evolving in ways to the grid parity and a cleaner future.”
Last year the Israeli government introduced its goal of generating 30% of its electricity needs via renewables by 2030. Solar PV is expected to contribute to most of it, corresponding to 26% of Israel's renewable electricity in 2030, indicating 12 GW to 15 GW of new PV installations in the coming decade.
To reach such a high percentage of solar usage, Israel is currently aiming to develop an advanced solar-plus-storage system to ensure a stable and reliable electricity grid.
