Which energy storage projects have been commissioned in Switzerland?Axpo commissioned its BESS in February this year while utility Thurplus commissioned a 3MW system in September last year. But Switzerland was the location for one of the largest energy storage projects commissioned in recent years, a 20GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) unit which started operations in June 2022 in the Canton of Valais.
What is the largest battery storage facility in Europe?Last year, a deal was struck for the largest battery storage facility in Europe to be built in Scotland. The Scottish Green Battery Complex will consist of two 400 MW battery facilities, both providing 800 MWhrs of energy storage capacity, and is expected to become operational by 2024.
Where in Switzerland will Primeo energy install a battery storage system?In Kappel, in the canton of Solothurn, we will install one of the largest battery storage systems in Switzerland with a total capacity of 65 megawatt hours. Primeo Energie will use the stand-alone storage system to make energy more flexible and store electricity temporarily and withdraw it again when it is needed.
How will a large-scale storage system help the Swiss power grid?In this way, the system will help to stabilise the Swiss power grid. With this large-scale storage system, we are making a decisive contribution to the implementation of Switzerland’s Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to convert 100 per cent of its energy supply to renewable energies by 20
