Sungrow technology picked for 825-MWh battery project in UK

March 14 (Renewables Now) - Chinese solar inverter maker and energy storage solution provider Sungrow Power Supply Co Ltd (SHE:300274) has struck a deal to supply its liquid-cooled battery energy storage technology for 825 MWh of projects in the UK.

The contract for Sungrow’s Power Titan solution was sealed with grid-scale battery platform Constantine Energy Storage (CES), the Chinese firm said on Monday.

Sungrow’s technology will be deployed across five projects, some of which are already under construction. The schemes were developed by Pelagic Energy Developments, which is part of the Constantine Group. CES will acquire them once they become operational and will be the systems' long-term operator.

Construction has been initiated at sites in Ocker Hill, near Birmingham, and Capenhurst, near Chester, with the 57-MW/165-MWh facilities due to be switched on later this year. The remaining projects will be energised in 2024.

CES is majority-owned by Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo) and Railpen, along with Constantine Group.
