6 FAQs about Solar onsite energy storage in the north

How can on-site solar PV & energy storage improve sustainability?

To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.

Can on-site storage be used alongside solar PV?

If a utility restricts the exports from a facility to the grid, the use of on-site storage alongside solar PV can provide a solution to avoid costly infrastructure upgrades, thus increasing the feasibility of larger on-site PV installations.

How many energy storage projects does Engie have in North America?

Today, ENGIE has 3 grid-scale energy storage projects in North America with the capacity to deliver 520 MW of power to the grid and another 2 GW under construction. These projects support the growing demand for renewable energy and enable greater reliability and resilience on power grids, while enabling the net zero energy transition.

What is Engie energy storage?

ENGIE designs, deploys, operates and aggregates grid scale and onsite energy storage systems, which can dispatch electricity when needed, even during peak hours, with 24/7 reliability. Grid-scale storage offers reliability and ancillary services to meet the growing demand for electricity needs.

What are the benefits of an on-site solar PV system?

For the scenario represented in the graph, an on-site solar PV system allows the facility to reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the grid during the middle of the day. Increasing the amount of solar PV production on-site can provide additional cost and emission reductions and resiliency benefits for facilities.

What is grid-scale energy storage?

Grid-scale storage offers reliability and ancillary services to meet the growing demand for electricity needs. Today, ENGIE has 3 grid-scale energy storage projects in North America with the capacity to deliver 520 MW of power to the grid and another 2 GW under construction.
