East African country, Kenya, has launched its very first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to supply uninterrupted renewable power to its modular data center in the nation’s capital, Nairobi.
KenGen’s recent launch of a 1.16 megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Nairobi came with all the typical trimmings of a milestone event. The system, installed to power a modular data centre located at KenGen’s headquarters, is meant to showcase how battery technology can play.
East African country, Kenya, has launched its very first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to supply uninterrupted renewable power to its modular data center in the nation’s capital, Nairobi. In a press statement on Tuesday, the state-owned Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) said the.
The BESS will be utilized in the storage of excess energy generated by geothermal plants and help address grid instability arising from high levels of intermittent power by providing load balancing power to the grid. KenGen has announced that it will implement an initial 100MW BESS project as part.
KenGen is to implement a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project as part of a World Bank funded programme. The Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) is to implement a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project as part of a World Bank funded programme. The BESS project forms part.
