Fluence Energy, Inc. and its partner TECO Group have been awarded the 60 MW battery-based energy storage system for Taiwan Power Company’s Taoyuan Longtan ultra-high voltage substation.
There are 29 ultra-high voltage substations in Taiwan managed by the state-owned Taiwan Power Company (Taipower), with a plan of building a total of 160 MW of energy storage at Taipower sites. Among these battery-based energy storage projects, the Taoyuan Longtan is the largest in scale, with an investment of over TWD2.6 billion (US$87.56 million) and a capacity of 60 MW/96 MWh. Upon completion, the site will account for 37.5% of Taipower's total storage capacity, which also serves as an important node of the 345KV power grid in Taiwan, playing a significant role in providing a stable power supply.
Fluence is an energy storage joint venture of AES Corp and Siemens AG.
