Speira GmbH
Hamburg
Battery Technology: Li-Ion 1.6 MW/1.6MWh
COD: 2021
In November 2021, EDF Renewables in Germany commissioned a new battery storage system at the aluminum rolling and recycling company Speira GmbH in Hamburg. There, 272 battery modules provide 1.6 MW of power for one hour. With the help of intelligent load management, the grid operator can be supported in stabilizing the power grid. At the same time, the use of battery storage reduces the company’s electricity costs.
Jan Peterlic, plant manager at Speira Hamburg: “As an industrial company with a high energy demand, we need to ensure a stable power supply for our operations at Speira Hamburg. The battery storage solution from EDF Renewables is an essential part of this. It also gives us the opportunity to take another step towards the energy transition. We are very pleased that the battery storage system will also ease the strain on the power grid as a whole during peak load periods. Ultimately, this helps everyone who needs electricity.”

Malteurop
Heidenau (Sachsen) — General use-case
Battery Technology: Li-ion 200kW/240 kWh
COD: 2019
In December 2019, EDF Renewables in Germany and malt producer Malteurop commissioned two new battery storage systems in Rostock and Heidenau. Each battery is designed to supply the respective production plant with 200 kW for at least one hour. Thanks to EDF Energy Management System, the battery can adapt the plant’s consumption to the grid’s conditions, saving the company grid fees and making an important contribution to the success of the energy transition in Germany.

Toucan
French-Guyana (South America)
Battery Technology: Na/NiCl2; 1,5MW/4,5MWh
COD: 2014
Due to the highly variable climate conditions in the French Guyana, PV production is extremely erratic. The Toucan project has made it possible to smooth out short but extreme load peaks between sunshine and rain throughout the day. The battery storage solution is also used to enable energy production during the day to meet peak demand in the evening.

Mc Henry
Illinois (USA)
Battery Technology: Li-Ion 20MW/8,5MWh
COD: 2015
McHenry was built to improve frequency response on the transmission grid. The McHenry plant provides dynamic energy reserve for the grid operator PJM, a regional transmission organization that coordinates the transmission of electricity in 13 U.S. states and the Disctrict of Columbia.

West Burton
Nottinghamshire (Great Britain)
Battery Technology: Li-Ion; 49 MW/35 MWh
COD: 2018
The project is among the winners of the first “UK National Grid Call” for the provision of Enhanced Frequency Response (EFR). EDF Renewables achieved the best economic and technical solution for the battery storage in this call. Since 2018, “West Burton” is Europe’s largest battery in operation.

Cowley
Oxford (Great Britain)
Battery Technology: Li-Ion; 49MW/52,5MWh
COD: 2021


Kemsley
Kent (Great Britain)
Battery Technology: Li-Ion; 49MW/52,5MWh
COD: 2021

AdMedica
Ontario (Canada)
Battery Technology: Li-Ion; 3MW/12MWh
COD: 2019

Desert Harvest 2
California (USA)
Battery Technology: Li-Ion; 35MW/140MWh
COD: 2021
