Norgesnett and Volue launched a scheme for lower grid tariffs to customers of the grid company Norgesnett if they charge their electric car with "short-distance" solar energy. This is the first time such a service has been introduced in Norway.
Axpo commissioned its first large-scale battery storage facility in Sweden. It was connected to the grid in Landskrona, in the south of the country.
In the past, most energy storage projects were clearly divided into on-grid systems – with the option to feed energy back into the grid and off-grid systems. Today there are however more and more examples, where the general power-demand or the supply for demand-peaks exceed the available grid power-supply.
Sungrow delivers a battery energy storage system with 100 MW/330 MWh for Penso Power and BW EES in Bramley/Hampshire (UK).
The demand for sustainable power supply in tourism is increasing as a holiday resort near York/UK demonstrates. Solar and storage cover the main demand.
