Swiss custom energy storage battery manufacturer price

Swiss Clean Battery focuses on the stationary fields of application of “home storage” and “industrial buffer”, because the demand and contribution to solving problems in the energy transition is equally great here. An uninterrupted power supply, i.e. the balance between supply and demand, is essential for the power grid as a whole and for industry.

Axpo commissioned its BESS in February this year while utility Thurplus commissioned a 3MW system in September last year. But Switzerland was the location for one of the largest energy storage projects commissioned in recent years, a 20GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) unit which started operations in June 2022 in the Canton of Valais.

Oerlikon Stationary Batteries Ltd. manufactures a full range of stationary lead-acid batteries, notably the valve-regulated Compact-Power™ family which has become a key component in telecom power equipment and a whole variety of other applications.

The high standardization of factory construction promotes economies of scale and rapid implementation, so that the total capacity of 7.6 gigawatt hours will be reached in just a few years. When building the factory and equipping it with the necessary production facilities, Swiss Clean Battery draws on established and renowned partners.

MW Storage is a developer of BESS projects which is also active in the German market, with a 100MW/200MWh project underway that it claimed is the country's largest.

It is being monetised in the Swiss electricity market by both CKW, part of Axpo, and utility Alpiq, the announcement said. The BESS is part of a network of power plants, consumers and batteries, it added. The large-scale BESS market in Switzerland has been relatively quiet with renewable penetration on the country's grid still relatively low.
