Sungrow signs eight contracts to supply the first batch of utility-scale BESS micro-grid projects in Lebanon

BEIRUT/PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the global leading inverter and energy storage system solution supplier, signed eight contracts with local partners to supply the first batch of Utility-scale micro-grid BESS in Lebanon. The projects' cumulative capacities are 14MW/ 24.9MWh and the PV capacity at 12.4MW, providing power to communities and facilities, mitigating the ongoing electricity crisis caused by the weak and insufficient infrastructure, and decarbonizing the economy.

The electricity crisis in Lebanon recently reached a record high. The energy issue cripples Lebanon's economic development and paralyzes normal life. The power supply is contracting due to the rising price of fossil fuels which are the major energy sources for the country. To prepare for energy needs, Lebanon has set out to diversify its energy mix by adding more renewables. The micro-grid project combining PV and energy storage systems offers a possible way to mitigate the energy crisis.

Sungrow will provide the contracted eight micro-grid projects with its PV inverter and energy storage system solutions. The energy storage system is highly integrated with both the Power Conversion System (PCS) and Batteries, which minimizes the footprint, and streamlines the installation process. The solar-plus-storage system can power the loads during peak times without consuming pricy electricity from the
