US wind turbine maker Northern Power Systems has entered into a strategic partnership with compatriot Eos Energy Storage to offer battery systems for UK utilities and commercial/industrial customers.
The initiative will combine Eos’ Aurora zinc batteries with Northern Power’s inverter, control systems and engineering expertise.
The duo will offer storage systems offering four hours of energy using modular 250kW battery blocks.
Northern Power Systems UK sales director Iain Hardie said: “We can deliver a fully integrated storage solution at an all-in, installed price of less than £400/kW depending on project size.”
Eos and Northern Power plan to deliver fully-integrated products to major utilities in the second quarter of 2017.
