GE Vernova has been chosen to supply a 48MW battery energy storage system in Cornwall, south-west UK.
Varco Energy has selected GE Vernova to supply the complete BESS for the Sambar Power project.
GE Vernova’s FLEXRESERVOIR will comprise FLEXIQ Controls, FLEXINVERTER central inverters and Battery DC-Blocks, which will be scaled to meet the capacity of the project and provide balancing and capacity services to the national grid.
Additionally, GE Vernova has been contracted to provide a long-term service agreement.
Varco, an Adaptogen Capital funded battery storage operating company, is building flexible storage assets.
James Mills, Director, Varco Energy, said: “BESS are critical infrastructure to help balance the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation and break the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels.
“We are therefore delighted to collaborate with GE Vernova on the 47.5MW – two hour duration – Sambar Power project.
“At Varco we are committed to investing in assets that will accelerate renewable integration, sustain a resilient grid and drive consumer value in the UK.
“This is Varco’s second project contracted with GE Vernova and the third overall, as the company continues to expand its portfolio of utility-scale BESS across the UK.”
