Pulse Clean Energy has selected original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Envision Energy to supply a 129MW/310MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) for its project in Wolverhampton, UK.
The project was originally designed as a 2-hour duration system but has been reconfigured to provide 2.4 hours of storage duration. Envision will provide a system-level solution incorporating its Gen 7 BESS platform, battery technology and grid-forming capabilities, increasing its energy capacity to 310MWh. Envision said the change reflects evolving UK grid requirements.
Aazzum Yassir, Director of Technology and Operations at Pulse Clean Energy, said, “The UK’s energy landscape is evolving rapidly, and battery storage plays a critical role in modern energy systems. Batteries balance supply and demand, improve the security of the grid, and support lower-cost power for consumers and businesses”.
“This project with Envision Energy is an important step in strengthening the West Midlands, and we look forward to delivering long-term value for the local grid and the communities and businesses it serves.”
