Vale is installing at Ilha Guaíba terminal (TIG), in Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's largest battery energy storage systems to supply electrical demand.
The BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) system, which is being developed in partnership with Siemens and MicroPower Comerc (MPC), will reduce the electric energy cost of the port by almost 20% by substituting the electrical grid supply during peak demand periods when the tariff is more expensive. The Tesla-supplied equipment has a storage capacity of 10 megawatt-hours, which is enough energy to power 45,000 homes for one hour.
