BESS systems support increased penetration and optimization of the operation of renewables into the energy mix, providing ancillary services necessary to ensure the reliability and stability of the grid. They are widely considered as an integral part towards a successful energy transition.

Nikos Papapetrou, General Manager of the RSD Business Unit stated: “MYTILINEOS leverages on its leading European position in storage projects and continues its successful cooperation with Gresham House for a vast portfolio that will significantly aid UK’s energy transition, especially today, that the need for sustainable green energy is more crucial than ever”.
