FRV with Harmony Energy completes the 15 MWh Holes Bay battery storage system in Dorset
Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), (part of Abdul Latif Jameel Energy) in partnership with Harmony Energy, a British renewable energy developer, has commissioned the 15 MWh Holes Bay battery storage system located in Holes Bay, Poole, Dorset in the United Kingdom.
The project uses six Tesla Megapack, Lithium-ion batteries that enable utility-scale energy storage. The Megapack batteries have a capacity of 15 MWh and are connected to the Southern Electric Power distribution network, providing the capability to store energy from renewable sources and afford peak-time flexibility to the UK National Grid as part of the UK’s continuing shift away from fossil fuels.
The utility-scale energy storage facility operates using Tesla’s cutting-edge ‘Autobidder’ AI software.
