PR98323
NINGDE, China, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), a global leader in new
energy innovative technologies, announces today that it has entered a sole
battery supply agreement with Primergy Solar LLC (Primergy), a leading
developer, owner and operator of utility and distributed scale solar and
storage, for the record breaking US$1.2 billion Gemini Solar+Storage Project
outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Once completed, Gemini will be one of the largest operational solar + storage
projects in the U.S. with a 690 MWac/966 MWdc solar array and 1,416 MWh storage
capability. Earlier this year, Primergy completed a comprehensive and detailed
procurement process and selected several globally leading equipment suppliers
and construction partners for the Gemini project.
Primergy designed an innovative DC coupled system for the Gemini project, which
will maximize efficiency from the teaming of the solar array with the CATL
storage system. CATL will supply Primergy Solar with EnerOne, a modular outdoor
liquid cooling battery energy storage system that features long service life,
high integration, and high degree of safety. With a cycle life of up to 10,000
cycles, the LFP-based battery product will contribute to the safe and reliable
operation of the Gemini project. Primergy selected the EnerOne solution for
Gemini because it utilizes advanced lithium phosphate chemistry which meets
Primergy's requirements for safe and reliable operations at its sites.
"CATL is a technology leader in the battery industry, and we are pleased to
partner with them on the Gemini Project and showcase CATL's advanced EnerOne
storage solution," said Ty Daul, Chief Executive Officer. "The future of our
country's energy reliability and resiliency relies on the mass deployment of
battery storage capacity that can supply consistent power back into the grid
when it's needed most. Together with CATL, we are building a market leading and
highly sophisticated battery storage system that can capture surplus solar
power during the day and store it for use in the early evening after the
sunsets in Nevada."
"With Primergy's industry-seasoned team, their in-house capability in
development, construction and management of long-term assets and CATL's
innovative battery technologies," said Tan Libin, vice president of CATL, "we
believe our cooperation on the Gemini Solar Project will set a great example
for large-scale electrochemical energy storage applications, thus promoting
global drive towards carbon neutrality."
