A key feature of the Capella Solar project is the integration of a 3 MW/1.9 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). This technology enhances grid stability and ensures a consistent power supply, addressing the intermittency challenges of renewable energy.
[pdf] The Government of Maldives has awarded a contract to a Chinese consortium to install 38 megawatts (MW) of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across 18 islands, in a bid to enhance renewable energy capacity and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
[pdf] The project, considered the world's largest solar-storage project, will install 3.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and a 4.5GWh battery storage system. The project has commenced in November 2024.
