TotalEnergies issued the following statement: “TotalEnergies is delighted to develop this storage project, which will compensate for the intermittency introduced by renewable energies and thus enable their development. Batteries are an effective response to the growing need for grid balancing.

“They can be deployed quickly, have a limited footprint and high reactivity. As a result, they can help meet the new challenges facing power grids today.”

TotalEnergies battery subsidiary Saft will supply 40 Intensium Max High Energy lithium-ion containers for the project, which is set to come online by the end of next year.

It will help to smooth power fluctuations in the national grid, ensuring its security and enabling more renewable electricity to be integrated into it.
