NHOA to build 160 MW/420 MWh battery energy storage system for TCC

NHOA (formerly Engie EPS), majority-owned by Taiwan Cement Corp (TCC), has been selected by TCC to supply technology equipment and build two battery energy storage system projects in Taiwan. 

The two systems with a capacity of around 160 MW/420 MWh will be located at TCC SuAo cement plant and HePing industrial park. They will be owned and operated by TCC Group with the aim to deliver ancillary services to the Taiwanese grid. This is expected to be the most important large-scale energy storage project performing the new range of frequency support services introduced by the transmission system operator Taiwan Power Corporation.

The systems will be part of one of the most advanced and challenging ancillary service schemes worldwide, overlapping different services such as frequency regulation and load-shifting, with the help of NHOA’s unique core technologies and intellectual property, including notably its “Prophet” Energy Management System. The projects in SuAo and HePing will be developed by NHOA’s Global Business Line Storage, operating through NHOA Energy S.r.l. and its global subsidiaries. The projects will be delivered by NHOA as a technology supplier on a turn-key basis, and construction is scheduled for delivery of around 110 MWh in SuAo by the end of 2022 and around 310 MWh in HePing by the third quarter of 2023.
