The National Electric Power Company (ENEE) has selected a Chinese-Honduran consortium to design, supply, install, test, and commission a grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Amarateca substation in the department of Francisco Morazán.
[pdf] The ministry’s Energy Mining Planning Unit (UPME) launched the tender earlier this year, calling for proposals for deploying grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) technology to help alleviate system constraints and boost reliability of the grid in Barranquilla, in the Department of Atlantico area of northern Colombia.
[pdf] The project is estimated to cost more than SYP 81 billion (equivalent to around GBP 125 billion) and to have an annual production of 150,000 panels. It aims to generate enough electricity to power approximately 100 houses – bringing reliable energy to the local residents.
