Domestic state-owned entity Cote d’Ivoire Energies (CI-Energies) owns the Boundiali project and will operate the power plant. Saft’s role in the project will be to deliver a fully-integrated lithium-ion energy storage system (ESS).
[pdf] The fully-integrated lithium-ion ESS will comprise six Saft Intensium Max High Energy containers, providing a total of 13.8 MWh (megawatt-hour) energy storage, together with power conversion and medium voltage power station systems.
[pdf] New research coming out of the University of Iceland introduces the novel idea of adding EES technologies such as Lithium-ion batteries across the country’s grid to store it’s 100 percent renewably sourced electricity, effectively creating the world’s first renewable “green battery.”
