Solar PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow has signed a 253MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) contract with Doral Renewable Energy Resources Group, its third in Israel this year.

It’s been a positive week for thermal energy storage technology, with utility Edison International validating a cold storage solution, a collaboration between two groups to achieve 100% round trip efficiency, and an acquisition involving several intellectual property rights patents.

Sungrow will supply a 16MW/64MWh battery energy storage system to a customer in Israel.

The energy storage division of solar PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow has signed a 430MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) contract with Israel’s Enlight Renewable Energy. 

News in brief from a busy week for the UK’s energy storage industry.

Powin Energy has installed battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Israel and Taiwan which, while small by comparison to some of the company’s recent US projects, mark entry into new territories for the Oregon-headquartered system integrator.

The cooling of commercial and industrial (C&I) buildings accounts for a significant percentage of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), but can instead be turned into “powerful energy assets.”

An auction for solar-plus-storage held in Israel by the country’s Electricity Authority (PUA) awarded 609MW of solar PV alongside 2.4GWh of energy storage.

Energy-Storage.news was delighted to host a sponsored webinar with consultancy Clean Horizon on the Israeli context for renewables and storage as the country undergoes an ‘electricity revolution’ – and you can watch the whole thing on our YouTube channel.

As much as 8GWh of energy storage may be required to enable Israel’s policy aim of sourcing 30% of its electricity from renewables by 2030 and to enhance the reliability of the electricity grid.
