Trina Storage Signs Over 100MWh Elementa Deals in the UK

Trina Storage announced the contract closure for another two Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects in the UK shortly after the signing of the 50MW/102 MWh Swangate project last month.

These two new deals, 25MW/58MWh and 50MW/58MWh respectively, will also be utilizing Trina Storage's vertically integrated battery storage product – Elementa.

The newly signed 25MW/58MWh project is located in the midlands region of England. Trina Storage will offer its Elementa-based next-gen energy storage solution, adding to an existing photovoltaic project there.

For Trina Storage, it will be the first solar-plus-storage project in the UK, demonstrating the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of the Elementa battery storage solution.  

The UK has ambitious climate targets aimed at achieving a net-zero power system, propelled by renewable sources taking up a larger share in the country's electricity mix. Solar-plus-storage applications are now the long-term and sustainable trend to guarantee power grid stability.

By incorporating storage systems, the peak generation from the PV system can be shifted as energy demand fluctuates, further improving grid stability, ensuring maximized generation and in turn revenue.

In addition, solar and storage integration can help avoid renewable curtailment, further ensuring the safe and successful integration of renewables.

Commenting on these recent achievements, Terry Chen, Head of Overseas Storage at Trina Storage said: "We much appreciate the continued trust from SMS and look forward to deploy our first solar-plus-storage project. We will offer the advanced system and services backed by professional deployment to support them and ensure future successes, continued commitment to our clients, and a greener, more sustainable future."
