Albioma has won a 7.4 MW/14.9 MWh battery power storage project in Mayotte during the first call for projects organised by the French energy regulatory commission (CRE).
The project will provide an arbitration service for the grid operator by drawing electricity, especially during periods of strong sunshine, and reinjecting it later, during peak consumption times. The load transfer provides flexibility to the electricity system and increases the penetration of renewable energies on the Mayotte network and in particular solar power.
The winning project chosen by the CRE will contribute to reducing the CO2 emissions of the thermal installations by 6,100 tonnes per year in Mayotte. It is scheduled to begin operating early in 2021.
