Fortis Energy is advancing the capabilities of the 80 MWp Oslomej Solar Power Plant by integrating a 62 MW / 104 MWh Battery Energy Storage System. This strategic enhancement aims to transform the solar plant into a more stable power source, maximizing its contribution to the grid.
The primary technical objective of the BESS integration is to mitigate the inherent intermittency of solar power generation. The system will capture and store surplus energy generated during peak sunlight hours, which would otherwise be subject to potential grid curtailment. This stored energy will then be dispatched to the grid during periods of high demand or low solar irradiance, such as evening peak hours. This process, known as energy time-shifting, provides critical grid support.
Furthermore, the BESS will deliver essential ancillary services, including frequency regulation and voltage support, thereby enhancing grid stability. By firming the power output, Oslomej Solar Power Plant will transition to a reliable, on-demand energy asset, contributing to a more resilient and efficient energy ecosystem.
Located on an abandoned coal mine site, Oslomej Solar Power Plant already stands as a benchmark for green energy transformation. With an installed capacity of 80 MWp, the plant generates approximately 120 GWh of clean electricity annually.
The full integration and commissioning of the battery energy storage system are scheduled for completion in 2026.
