Energy storage solution supplier Sungrow and Enlight Renewable Energy, an Israeli traded Developer, have signed a joint agreement to develop a 430MWh installation of its flagship liquid cooled energy storage system (ESS).
Sungrow will supply a four-hour liquid cooled ESS, in a combination of a contracted 230MWh for stage 1 and 200MWh battery for stage 2.
The project will be the largest ESS agreement signed to date in Israel.
Sungrow’s ESS uses a modular DC/DC converter, and can be used in multiple grid-scale applications, including: energy shifting, ancillary service (ramp rate control), and reactive power provision.
Sungrow made its first entry into the Israeli market two years ago, and by adding the 430MWh project to its portfolio, the company will gain more than 50% of the Israeli market share in 2022.
Last year, the Israeli government introduced its goal of generating 30% of its electricity needs via renewables by 2030— solar PV is expected to contribute 26% of renewable electricity in 2030, indicating 12GW to 15GW of new PV installations in the coming decade.
To reach the target, Israel is aiming to develop an advanced solar-plus-storage system to ensure a stable and reliable electricity grid.
