Greensmith Energy, a part of the Wärtsilä technology group, was selected by Origis Energy USA to provide advanced energy storage integrated with solar photovoltaic (PV) in Sterling, Massachusetts, USA. The resultant hybrid system will allow the PV installation to better handle peak loads and provide secure, reliable electricity supply to the Municipality and State.
Greensmith Energy will deliver the 1 MW / 2 MWh energy storage system using LG Chem batteries and Sungrow inverters to Origis Energy, a leading US-based provider of solar energy and storage solutions, with over 1 gigawatt of developed solar capacity. The order was booked in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Greensmith will deliver the turnkey solution and project on a fast-track basis, having proven its ability to meet demanding delivery schedules globally through over 70 successful system deployments. The system is expected to be fully operational by the end of March 2018. The company will also provide energy storage operation and maintenance services under a 10-year agreement.
