ESS to Deliver Long-Duration Energy Storage Solutions to Sapele Power to Improve Generation Efficiency and Expands Deployment Footprint in California
In a significant development for the energy industry, ESS Tech, Inc. (ESS) has partnered with Sapele Power Plc (Sapele), a prominent Nigerian integrated energy company specializing in power generation, to deliver 1 MW / 8 MWh of long-duration energy storage. This innovative collaboration marks the largest battery storage system export to Africa financed by ESS, solidifying their position as a leading manufacturer of long-duration energy storage systems (LDES) for commercial and utility-scale applications.
The partnership between ESS and Sapele Power aims to enhance generation efficiency and tackle the challenge of intermittent power supply in Nigeria. By harnessing advanced iron flow battery technology, ESS offers a reliable and sustainable energy storage solution that can store excess energy during low-demand periods and discharge it during high-demand periods, effectively bridging the gap between power supply and demand.
The importance of long-duration energy storage cannot be overstated, especially in regions where power outages are rampant. With the implementation of ESS’s energy storage systems, Sapele Power will have the capability to store surplus electricity and deploy it when needed, ensuring uninterrupted and stable power availability for businesses and households.
This partnership with Sapele Power is just one aspect of ESS’s commitment to advancing energy storage solutions worldwide. The company recently expanded its deployment footprint in California, commissioning a new project and making significant advancements in its Energy Center product line. As ESS continues to scale up production and accelerate the global deployment of iron flow battery technology, they are realizing their vision of revolutionizing the energy storage industry.
