Portuguese multinational energy corporation, Galp, and US-based energy storage system provider, Powin LLC, (Powin) have partnered to install a 5MW/20MWh utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) at Galp's solar power plant near Alcoutim, in the southern region of the Algarve in Portugal.
Galp already operates several projects in the region with a combined capacity of 144MW, and this partnership marks Galp's maiden move in the hybridization of its solar power production portfolio. As for Powin, Alcoutim marks its inaugural project in Europe which could pave the way for Powin to emerge as a leading supplier of energy storage solutions in the growing market.
