Solar energy developer Pine Gate Renewables has signed a multi-year agreement with metal-hydrogen battery maker EnerVenue to procure 2,400 MWh (2.4 GWh) of battery energy storage systems to deploy across its project pipeline in the US.
Pine Gate Renewables has more than 1 GW of operational assets with over 16 GW in active development.
As per the agreement, Pine Gate Renewables will use EnerVenue battery systems across its project pipeline over the next four years. EnerVenue’s cost-efficient and safe energy storage technology can deliver multiple power cycles each day.
“EnerVenue batteries offer a differentiated value proposition – lower degradation across a wide temperature band, and lower cost for maintenance and augmentation, whilst posing no fire or thermal runaway risk. These batteries also have a stackable form factor and can last for more than 30-years while being able to cycle multiple times a day”, explained Raafe Khan, Director of Energy Storage at Pine Gate Renewables.
In March, Pine Gate Renewables announced that its Sugar Solar project was online and generating 81 MWdc/60 MWac of renewable energy in the community of Yadkinville, North Carolina.
