Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. has started the commercial operation of the 9 MW/9 MWh Tonnerre battery energy storage system (BESS) project located at Joux-la-Ville in Bourgogne-France-Comté, France.
EVLO Energy Storage Inc, the energy storage subsidiary of Canadian utility Hydro-Quebec, designed the energy storage solution for the project. The IEC 62933-certified and UL9540A-tested battery energy storage system (BESS) enclosure includes several exclusive safety features and uses a unique lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology, known for its superior thermal and chemical stability.
Réseau de Transport d'Électricité (RTE) has awarded a seven-year fixed-price Contract for Difference for capacity payments to Innergex for the operation of the project. The project will generate additional revenues that are variable based on prevailing energy pricing.
