Austria’s Largest BESS Project Complete

Developer NGEN Smart Grid Systems has completed a 10.3MW/20.6MWh standalone battery storage project in Austria, the largest in the country, it claimed.

The Slovenia-headquartered firm has installed the project in Ardnoldstein, which is now grid-connected and participating in the electricity market, it announced last week.

The battery energy storage system (BESS) is made up of Tesla Megapacks, the EV giant’s grid-scale lithium iron phosphate-based (LFP) product, and a total of €15 million (US$16.2 million) was invested into the project.
