Following on the profitable commissioning of Spearmint Power’s first main battery vitality storage challenge, a 150 MW / 300 MWh system in Texas which utilized Sungrow’s PowerTitan Sequence storage system, the 2 corporations have now agreed to deploy greater than 1 GWh of added storage capability at Spearmint’s different storage tasks in that state.
Spearmint’s first grid-scale vitality storage challenge was the Revolution, which is situated in West Texas simply south of Odessa, that includes the Sungrow PowerTitan system and consisting of some 6,432 battery modules in 134 containers, plus 45 Sungrow energy conversion system items. A $92 million tax fairness funding in that challenge, which was offered by Greenprint Capital Administration, was “one of the first applications of the Investment Tax Credit structure for a standalone battery energy storage system following the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act,” claimed Spearmint.
The brand new settlement between the businesses will see Sungrow’s PowerTitan Sequence used for Spearmint’s tasks in Texas by way of 2025. The PowerTitan Sequence, which makes use of a liquid-cooled system as a part of its thermal administration and enhanced hearth suppression options, is described as having “an easily scalable design with plug-and-play architecture backed by pre-certified fire safety compliance testing.” Moreover, the system is designed for “top performance in harsh environments,” which embrace excessive humidity areas, excessive elevations (as much as 3000 meters/ 9843 ft above sea stage), and dusty areas, and is claimed to make sure a excessive return on funding “by reducing auxiliary power consumption by 40%.”
“We are pleased to once again partner with Sungrow — a producer of high-quality, low-cost products needed to advance the energy transition — to bring our battery storage projects to completion. Spearmint’s latest projects will leverage Sungrow’s integrated platform and allow us to quickly deploy new storage capacity to meet the growing need for the reliable, low-cost energy that powers the Texas economy while creating new jobs and additional tax revenue for local communities.” — Peter Rood, Chief Growth Officer of Spearmint
