About BESS
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a transformative technology that allows energy to be stored and discharged on demand. Below is an introductory video created by ESA’s consulting engineers, Black & Veatch.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The BESS’ are designed for a minimum 20-year operational life with augmentation. It is possible to secure a long-term Augmentation Agreement with technology partners to guarantee performance and replace components over time, ensuring that project delivers its contracted capacity for the full duration of its PPA.
-
Absolutely. Lithium-ion battery technology is mature and widely deployed in grids across the world, from China, the US and Europe to Australia. Our technical advisors work with us to implement bankable, proven technology configurations
-
Our BESS will enable more renewable energy on the grid, directly help displacing diesel generators. This reduces CO2 emissions and air pollution. We are committed to a closed-loop approach for managing battery components to ensure no hazardous waste remains.
-
We are committed to full environmental responsibility compliant with International Standards. This includes a decommissioning plan where all materials are safely removed from the site.
