Cavaleira 10 MW / 40 MWh Battery Energy Storage System

Leverer 10 MW batterilager

Omexom Portugal is delivering a 10 MW / 40 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Cavaleira Energy Hub in Estremoz, east of Lisbon. This project complements the 51.8 MW solar power plant they are currently developing at the same site and forms part of a broader strategy to integrate renewable energy more effectively into Portugal's national grid.

Omfattende leveranse og støtte

The BESS will store surplus electricity generated during periods of high solar production and release it when electricity demand increases, improving grid flexibility and reliability. Omexom’s scope of work includes engineering, civil works, equipment installation, cabling, grid connection, and advanced control systems. The project is supported by Omexom's expertise from their Conversion & Storage unit in France, ensuring the technical and contractual aspects are rigorously addressed.

Smart lagring øker effektivitet

This smart storage solution will help balance fluctuations in renewable energy supply, minimize energy losses, and maximize the value of clean energy. It also supports an innovative hybrid renewable energy approach, combining solar power during the day with wind power developed at the same site during the night. This synergy, facilitated by the BESS, optimizes the use of the grid connection and enhances renewable energy injection capacity.

Støtter Portugals energiovergang

The project directly contributes to Portugal’s energy transition by addressing the challenges posed by increasing intermittent renewable generation. By enhancing grid stability and supporting the efficient use of renewable resources, the storage system reinforces energy security and advances the country’s clean energy goals.

Kontraktsgevinst bekrefter kompetanse

Winning the contract reflected the client’s confidence in Omexom’s ability to meet deadlines and deliver high-performance results. The project highlights the growing global importance of battery energy storage as an integral component of the modern energy system, enabling greater integration of renewable energy and contributing to a more flexible and resilient grid.
