The local subsidiary of global energy firm AES has submitted an EIA for a hybrid renewables plant in Chile with over 3,000MWh of battery energy storage capacity.
AES Andes, a utility operating in South America owned by AES Corporation, has revealed plans to convert 560MW of thermal power generation into a molten salt-based energy storage plant in Chile.
Global battery energy storage system integrator Fluence is using its intelligent bidding software solution to optimise the trading activity of a 508MWh system it recently completed for AES in California.
Utility and power company AES Corporation has brought the Lancaster Area Battery (LAB), the second portion of a combined 908MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) complex in California, online.
Solar and storage EPC and O&M provider Borrego has completed the construction of 15 solar-plus-storage projects across New York and Massachusetts totalling 169MWh, for AES Corporation.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved 497MW of energy storage procured by utility Southern California Edison (SCE) to come online from August 2023 through June 2024.
Energy storage technology provider Fluence and battery gigafactory startup Northvolt will collaborate to develop “next-generation battery technology for grid-scale storage applications,” the companies said today.
The installation will be used to provide “critical peaking capacity” and “increased” grid reliability. AES will provide a system with a four-hour duration based on Fluence’s Advancion platform. It will be leased under a 20-year contract with AES the owner and operator of the project.
