FRV Australia, a subsidiary of Jameel Energy and backed by the Canadian infrastructure fund OMERS, is at the forefront of developing sustainable energy solutions.

The collaboration between e-STORAGE and FRV Australia includes an energy storage supply agreement and a long-term service agreement, with construction to begin in August 2024.

e-STORAGE will supply the Terang project with SolBank 3.0, its most advanced proprietary energy storage solution.

Each 20ft container of SolBank 3.0 offers more than 5MWh of capacity. This represents a 45% increase in capacity and a 12% reduction in the space required for the project layout compared to its predecessors.
