RWE Renewables has signed contracts with LG Energy Solution to provide an integrated battery energy storage system (BESS) for two projects with co-located solar PV facilities in the US.
The supply contract secures more than 800 megawatt-hours of battery storage capacity deployed on over 200MW of storage systems.
Delivery of the LG systems is scheduled for the second half of 2022.
RWE Renewables onshore wind and PV chief executive Silvia Ortin said: “We’re delighted to join forces with LG Energy Solution to secure equipment helping us realise two important solar plus storage projects as we continue to expand our renewable portfolio, driving down costs and making clean energy more affordable here in the US.
“LG Energy Solution is an experienced partner focused on ensuring reliability, helping us keep pace in this state-of-the-art technology and allowing us to provide tailor-made solutions to our customers.”
LG Energy Solution SVP of ESS Youngjoon Shin said: “We are extremely pleased to form the partnership with the RWE team to supply batteries for their two flagship projects in the world’s fastest growing energy storage market.
“These projects build on the partnership between our companies that was established in 2017 with the installation of our batteries at two small projects in Texas.
“The LG team looks forward to a long-term collaboration with RWE in the US and beyond to deliver sustainable energy solutions that meet the demands of power companies and consumers for reliable, clean and affordable energy.”
