RCT Power has announced that it reached the threshold of 10GWh of total delivered storage capacity in August 2024, meaning that there are now enough of its battery storage systems in operation worldwide to power more than 1 million homes for one day.

While celebrating this achievement, the company was also able to announce the second largest order in its history with an order from Wärtsilä for a total of 2.1 GWh of GESS class grid connected battery storage systems for a range of large projects in Australia. To mark the delivery of the 6,000 Quantum energy storage units, the two companies, which have collaborated since 2019, confirmed the extension of their cooperation at an official ceremony at RCT Power’s production facility.

Wärtsilä Energy VP for Energy Storage and Optimisation, Andrew Tang, commented: “Wärtsilä is delighted to work with RCT to provide advanced energy storage solutions for a safer and more resilient grid.”

Rauni Jaskari, the company’s Director of Supply Management for Energy Storage and Optimisation, added: “We are continuously exploring new supply chain diversification plans to best serve our customers’ evolving needs and this strategic move not only enhances our operational efficiency but also delivers cost savings to our customers.” 

RCT Power is known in Europe for its outstanding storage technology in the residential and small commercial power class from 4 to 100 kW and a storage capacity of 4 to 230 kWh, its systems division having won the “Storage Inspection” test carried out by HTW Berlin each year since 2020. The company is in the process of developing new business areas and markets, with the first projects with large-scale storage systems for trade and industry having already been implemented in Europe and further projects planned for all power classes in the DACH region and other European countries. RCT operates its own plants and locations worldwide and now employs more than 500 people worldwide, 80 percent of whom work in China and 20 percent in the USA, Germany, Australia and other Asian countries.
