Press release
We are thrilled to announce already another significant achievement at SemperPower. Last month we announced that Castor is operational. On top of that, following the successful installation by energy solution specialist Alfen, we now have also taken over our third utility-scale energy storage project, Pollux.
The operational phase of this project was made possible through the collaborative efforts of our suppliers, capacity off-takers, and financiers. We truly believe that only together we can accelerate the energy transition. To pursue this goal, energy storage systems need to be realized. Therefore, the team of SemperPower is developing its concrete pipeline of 1.4GW, including the realization of our first HV-connected BESS. Stay tuned as the launch of star Antares is in sight!
Project Pollux
- A large-scale battery energy storage system with a capacity of 30 megawatts, and an energy throughput of 68 megawatt hours;
- Located in the energy hub of Vlissingen-Oost;
- Designed to accelerate the stable integration of renewable energy into the Dutch electricity market;
- Delivered by energy solution specialist Alfen as a complete turn-key solution, including civil works, electrical integration and automation, to ensure the highest performance and reliability.
Floris Heijckmann,
Procurement & Construction Director, SemperPower
"We are very proud to announce the commissioning of Pollux! Alongside our project partners, we have once again taken a significant step forward in the energy transition. In precisely one year of fruitful collaboration, our main contractor and energy solution specialist, Alfen, has successfully realized the Pollux project. With Pollux, our third operational project, we have established a robust foundation for the construction of even more and larger battery energy storage projects. The insights gained from these three projects instill confidence in the pivotal role that SemperPower will continue to play in the energy transition in the future."
Yves Vercammen,
Sales Manager, Alfen
"The Alfen team is very excited to see the biggest project in our agreement with SemperPower come to life as the largest battery energy storage system in the Netherlands. This project clearly demonstrates the power of what’s possible when two Dutch companies join forces and employ their strengths to build game-changing renewable energy assets. We're especially proud that this project includes products from Alfen’s portfolio of integrated solutions, including our TheBattery Elements Energy Storage System, our Altro walk-in substation and even an Eve Double Pro-line EV charging station for site visitors to use."
