The Government of Liberia has signed a landmark contract for the construction of a 4.0 megawatt-peak (MWp) Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Plant coupled with a 9.4 megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), signaling a major step toward universal energy access in the country.
[pdf] “Storage” refers to technologies that can capture electricity, store it as another form of energy (chemical, thermal, mechanical), and then release it for use when it is needed. Lithium-ion batteriesare one such te.
[pdf] The project is located in the C ī rava area of Dienvidkurzeme, Latvia, and plans to construct a 400 megawatt peak photovoltaic power station and a supporting 600 megawatt hour battery energy storage system.
