Azelio has completed the installation of its renewable energy storage with 24-hour clean power production at 580 MW Noor Ouarzazate solar complex in Morocco.
The installation is a partial result of a joint technical and business development agreement between Azelio and Masen. Verification of the storage will be initiated during the first quarter of 2020, with commercial installations later the same year, followed by volume production in 2021.
Azelio has developed a solution to efficiently store renewable energy from solar and wind power and make it available all hours of the day as electricity and heat. The system uses recycled aluminum as a storage medium, containing no rare minerals and suffers no reduced capacity over time. The system is scalable from 100 kW to 100 MW and that fills a void in the market towards the goal of universal access to affordable and sustainable energy.
