Located in the city of Barranquilla in northern Colombia, this project will consist of a 45 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system and is expected to reach commercial operation by June 2023.
[pdf] The project, which encompasses a total capacity of 7.4 MW, includes the installation of the first 2.4 MW at Trepça, a historic mining complex. This development is a critical step towards achieving Kosovo’s energy transition and decarbonization goals.
[pdf] At its core, the system combines solar photovoltaic arrays with a flow battery storage setup that could power 15,000 homes. But here's the kicker—they're using retired EV batteries from Europe, giving old power packs new purpose under the African sun [1].
