Rolls-Royce Supplies Large-Scale Battery Storage For Grid Stabilization And Electricity Trading To Encavis

The title of this post, is the same as that of this press release from Rolls-Royce.

These two bullet points, act as sub-headings.

  • mtu EnergyPack system with 24 megawatt hours to balance out volatile power generation from renewable energies and increase security of supply
  • Commissioning of the storage system based on lithium-ion technology in the first quarter of 2025

This paragraph outlines the project.

Rolls-Royce is supplying an mtu battery energy storage system with an output of 12 megawatts and a storage capacity of 24 megawatt hours to Encavis AG. The battery system will support the Hamburg-based electricity producer in trading the electrical energy generated by German wind and solar parks by, among other things, balancing out fluctuations in generation and increasing security of supply. Rolls-Royce will supply and install the energy storage system on a turnkey basis. It is expected to go into operation in the first quarter of 2025.

Note.

  1. The deal includes construction, installation and ten years of maintenance.
  2. The battery can supply full power for two hours.
  3. The battery is supporting renewables.
  4. In Would You Buy A Battery Energy Storage System From Rolls-Royce?, I looked at a mtuEnergyPack in detail.
  5. The respective capacity value and efficiency of the plant are guaranteed over the entire term.

This looks to be a very professional deal.

Conclusion

This is the second press release on the corporate web site after Rolls-Royce Supplies mtu Large-Scale Battery Storage To Secure The Latvian National Grid, that was published a month ago, that talks about the mtuEnergyPack.

Could it be that Rolls-Royce are looking for a share of the UK market for grid batteries?
