Press Release
We are extremely proud to announce that SemperPower has, after the successful installation by Rolls-Royce, taken over control of its second utility-scale energy storage project Castor.
This project could not have reached its operational phase without the cooperation of our suppliers, capacity off takers as well as financiers. We truly believe that only together we can accelerate the energy transition. To pursue this goal; energy storage systems need to be realized. Therefore, the team of SemperPower is developing its concrete pipeline of 1.4GW, including the realization of our first HV-connected BESS. Stay tuned as the launch of star Antares is in sight!
Project Castor
- A large-scale battery energy storage system with a capacity of 30.7 megawatts, and energy throughput of 62.6 megawatt hours;
- Located in the energy hub of Vlissingen-Oost;
- To accelerate the stable integration of renewable energy into the Dutch electricity market;
- With the mtu EnergyPack OG and mult-level control system EnergetIQ;
- Delivered by Rolls-Royce as a fully turn-key solution, including civil works, electrical integration and automation, to ensure the highest performance and reliability.
