US programmer wins 538MW California storage space bargain

• Ameresco to design and also build 3 systems by August next year for Southern California Edison

Ameresco will deliver the storage with a complete engineering, purchase, building and construction and also maintenance contracting mechanism.

SCE president as well as chief executive Kevin Payne claimed: "SCE sees an expanding duty for battery storage as we change to supplying 100% tidy renewable resource to clients

" The battery storage systems we have actually contracted for with Ameresco will make the grid much more durable to the effects of severe climate and will certainly aid us continue our progress towards the tidy energy future, which is essential to combating environment modification."

Ameresco chief executive George Sakellaris stated: "Cutting-edge cleantech projects of this magnitude have the capacity to give transformative services to areas seeking trusted as well as resilient energy.

" At Ameresco, we are so delighted to be a part of a project that takes such a meaningful action in giving cleantech remedies to fight the disruptive results of severe climate events across the country."
