Aggreko Launches New Mid-Sized 500 kW/250 kWh and 250 kW/575 kWh Energy Storage Systems
Aggreko announced the addition of two new mid-node battery energy storage systems (BESS) to its Greener Upgrades line of temporary power options. The two integrated energy storage solutions are designed for North America customers looking for greener and more efficient energy options for larger projects and a wider variety of applications across different sectors, expanding on the capabilities of Aggreko’s 30 kVA and 60 kVA small-node models.
Continuing its commitment to providing greener, more efficient, and cost-effective energy solutions, Aggreko’s latest innovations are designed for on and off-grid applications while also enabling reduced emissions, energy consumption, and costs. Customers can now choose from an expanded range of mobile, plug-and-play BESS, right-sizing their energy options for whichever capacity is needed for their project.
“Providing our customers with a variety of innovative and greener energy options is something we pride ourselves in and continue to improve upon,” said Stephen Saal, vice president of sales & marketing at Aggreko. “The 250 kW/575 kWh and 500 kW/250 kWh battery storage systems meet our uncompromising quality standards, while also providing a reliable energy storage solution that addresses the need for customer projects to meet strict emissions standards, improve efficiencies and reduce costs. We’re committed to using our decades of engineering expertise to deliver greener solutions to power our customers’ energy transition, along their own paths and pace.”
Both batteries are designed with flexibility in mind, enabling easy maneuverability and transportation of the units to various locations and applications. The 250 kW/575 kWh and 500 kW/250 kWh systems can be plugged into an existing power system, operated in island mode, or used in a hybrid power solution, providing immediate and cost-efficient energy storage for any number of commercial and industrial applications. The containerized nature of the batteries means they are delivered with inverters, HVAC, fire protection, and auxiliary components - everything needed to be immediately plugged into a project site, all in one unit.
Through the Greener Upgrades initiative, Aggreko is developing updated models of its products and introducing new ones that are designed to help power the energy transition. In addition to the expanded BESS options, the Greener Upgrades line includes best-in-class low-emissions Tier 4F generators, natural gas generators, and oil-free air compressors.
