Which energy storage projects have been commissioned in Switzerland?
Axpo commissioned its BESS in February this year while utility Thurplus commissioned a 3MW system in September last year. But Switzerland was the location for one of the largest energy storage projects commissioned in recent years, a 20GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) unit which started operations in June in the Canton of Valais.
Where is the largest battery storage system in Switzerland?
In Kappel, in the canton of Solothurn, one of the largest battery storage systems in Switzerland is currently under construction, with a total capacity of 65 megawatt-hours. The successful delivery of all system components marks a key milestone on the path to commissioning. Primeo Energie will use our storage system to provide energy flexibility.
What are energy storage systems (ESS)?
Energy storage systems (ESS) using lithium-ion technologies enable on-site storage of electrical power for future sale or consumption and reduce or eliminate the need for fossil fuels.
Does Switzerland's new large-scale battery support the Energy Strategy ?
The new large-scale battery for Switzerland in Kappel supports the Energy Strategy and supports renewable energies.
Is MW storage the country's largest battery storage project?
MW Storage is a developer of BESS projects which is also active in the German market, with a 100MW/200MWh project underway that it claimed is the country’s largest. The inauguration ceremony for the BESS project. Image: EWS AG. EWS AG and MW Storage have expanded a battery storage project in Switzerland to 28MW, making it the country's largest.
Is Bess being monetised in the Swiss electricity market?
It is being monetised in the Swiss electricity market by both CKW, part of Axpo, and utility Alpiq, the announcement said. The BESS is part of a network of power plants, consumers and batteries, it added. The large-scale BESS market in Switzerland has been relatively quiet with renewable penetration on the country’s grid still relatively low.
