In a significant move towards renewable energy integration, Sungrow, a global leader in photovoltaic inverters and energy storage systems, has announced a strategic partnership with KTISTOR Energy. This collaboration marks the debut of Sungrow’s advanced PowerTitan 2.0 battery energy storage system (BESS) in Greece, set to play an essential role in four major energy storage projects in the northern and central regions of the country. The total capacity of these projects is projected to reach an impressive 105 megawatt-hours (MWh), with deliveries expected by the summer of 2025.
KTISTOR Energy is known for its progressive approach in constructing renewable energy projects as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractor. The company is engaged in a variety of areas, including wind, solar, and battery storage projects. This partnership not only heralds the introduction of the PowerTitan 2.0 into the Greek market but also aims to bolster the stability of the national grid while supporting Greece’s transition to renewable energy sources.
The specific projects encompassed by this agreement include:
- - Dokos Project in Rodopi: Licensed for 8.875 MW over a 2-hour duration with an initial installed capacity of 25.065 MWh.
- - Petra Project in Kozani: Licensed for 7.8 MW for 2 hours, contributing 20.055 MWh.
- - Agia Anna Project in Viotia: Licensed for 7.8 MW for 3 hours, featuring an initial capacity of 30.09 MWh.
- - Agia Anna II Project also in Viotia: Similarly licensed for 7.8 MW over a 3-hour duration, with the same capacity as its counterpart.
The total capacity across all projects, amounting to 105 MWh, relies on the cutting-edge capabilities of the PowerTitan 2.0 system. This advanced energy storage solution is designed specifically for grid stabilization and support applications, showcasing enhanced resilience, flexibility, and efficiency in grid management. With its liquid cooling technology, the system optimizes thermal management to enhance its operational lifespan and reduce costs.
Moreover, the innovative AC-DC block architecture enables rapid deployment and seamless adaptation across projects of varying scales. Sungrow's extensive background in energy storage remains a critical asset, ensuring that they contribute significantly to the global shift towards renewable energies.
George Fakidis, the owner of KTISTOR Energy, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "We are thrilled to work with Sungrow on deploying the innovative PowerTitan 2.0 BESS technology for these key projects in Greece.
