EDF Store & Forecast launches its own Battery Energy Storage Systems with its StorBox solution
EDF Store & Forecast – a subsidiary of the EDF Group specializing in the design and supply of Energy Management Systems – has branched out into Energy Storage Systems with its StorBox battery solution.
EDF Store & Forecast’s StorBox solution offers design, manufacture, and supply of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and its associated software.
StorBox solutions are stationary battery energy storage systems that can be tailored to a wide range of projects, such as:
- Control of variable renewable energies (solar photovoltaic power, wind power)
- Self-consumption and reduction of industrial and tertiary consumers’ energy expenses
- Guaranteed supply/demand balance for microgrids
- Ancillary services
EDF Store & Forecast deployed its first StorBox solutions in the United States in 2019* and has accelerated its development with several projects currently under construction in the United States, Canada, France, and Germany, totaling almost 50 MWh.
EDF Store & Forecast’s StorBox meets all the sector-specific quality and safety conditions. It was designed using the expertise and technological and human resources of the EDF Group which launched its Electricity Storage Plan in 2018.
