The project sets a strong precedent for using renewable energy to drive down energy costs on its outer islands. Located on Union Island, the 600kW solar PV plant is connected to a 637 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery, extending its generating capacity to supply all of Union Island’s daytime power requirements. The project represents Masdar's first fully implemented grid-connected battery energy storage system.
