In a recent statement, Harmony Energy announced that it will implement the largest battery energy storage system in France . The Cheviré project, which will use advanced technology from Tesla Megapack, represents a significant breakthrough for the country’s energy sector, being the first large-scale battery system designed to operate for two consecutive hours.
Cheviré Project boosts clean energy
Located on the former site of the Cheviré power plant in the port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire, this new 100 MW / 200 MWh project marks a remarkable change from its industrial past based on fossil fuels. fossil fuel-based industrial past to a renewable energy infrastructure.
[post_relacionado]The system is expected to provide enough power to sustain approximately 170,000 households for two hours, exceeding the total population of Nantes. This system will serve the local community and will play a crucial role in the balance and stability of the French electricity grid, facilitating French electricity grid, facilitating the transition to cleaner energy sources.
For his part, Andy Symonds, CEO of Harmony Energy in France, has expressed his enthusiasm for the start of construction of the company’s first project in the country, highlighting its potential to increase energy security, reduce energy costs and contribute significantly to the decarbonization of the grid.
Social impact of energy storage at Cheviré
Clément Girard, Chief Operating Officer, reiterated the relevance of the Cheviré project. Cheviré project project for its technical capacity and its environmental and social impact. According to Girard, the transformation of the site reverses its negative historical impact and also promotes a sustainable electrification of the French energy system, offsetting hundreds of thousands of tons ofCO2.
Finally, it highlights that Harmony Energy, having developed the three largest battery storage systems in Europe in terms of MWh, continues to set high standards in the sector with projects that incorporate biodiversity measures, community support and cutting-edge technology.
