The Latvian transmission system operator Augstsprieguma tīkls (AST) signed a contract for the supply and installation of the battery energy storage system (BESS) in substations in Tume and Rēzekne with the German company Rolls-Royce Solutions, whose offer to implement the project for 77.07 million euros was the most economically advantageous in the competition of three suppliers.
[pdf] The system is based on LiFePO₄ lithium iron phosphate battery technology, offering high safety, a long lifespan (over 6,500 cycles), and a modular design, making it ideal for Mauritius's abundant sunlight and fragile power infrastructure.
[pdf] Modular energy storage offers specific benefits for emergency response and off-grid applications: Hospitals, shelters, and other emergency facilities cannot tolerate power outages. Modular storage acts as an uninterruptible power supply to keep critical loads online.
