London, 13 March 2025. AMPYR Solar Europe (ASE) chooses GridBeyond to manage its 7.5MW battery in Northwold site. GridBeyond will manage the battery, helping to incorporate more renewable energy into the grid and offering support during periods of high demand.
GridBeyond will manage the flexibility of the site by connecting the batteries to its AI-powered platform. Power from the batteries will be discharged in response to instructions from the grid operator. GridBeyond's flagship product MBaaS (Managed Battery as a Service) will allow it to remotely manage the battery, forecast energy prices, develop optimal market trades, stack multiple services, submit trades and enact controls on the device based on its awarded positions.
This functionality will allow GridBeyond to expand its position as a key provider of optimisation services to grid-connected energy storage resources in the UK and globally providing significant revenue uplift, participate in the stacking of multiple grid products, and remotely operate the resources in response to quick-changing market conditions.
GridBeyond Asset Development Director Scott Berrie said: "We are delighted to work together with AMPYR Solar Europe to support their sustainability vision. This agreement shows our dedication to advancing energy storage solutions and demonstrates the effectiveness of our AI-driven technologies in managing the complex interaction between the solar generation and BESS optimisation. Co-located or hybrid energy projects, which combine generation assets such as solar or wind with battery energy storage systems (BESS), play a crucial role in the global energy transition and is becoming increasingly attractive to investors, developers, and policy-makers alike, as it provides a more reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable energy solution".
AMPYR Solar Europe's CEO Tarun Agrawal commented: "Co-located Battery Energy Storage Systems play an increasingly critical role in the operations of solar energy projects, adding value to generation assets and driving greater project efficiency. As AMPYR Solar Europe continues to expand its solar PV and BESS portfolio, we are very pleased to be working with a leading provider of optimization services such as GridBeyond, to maximize the value of our Northwold asset in the UK"
