The technology group Wärtsilä has again demonstrated its capabilities in advanced energy storage solutions with the award of a contract to supply an engineered equipment delivery (EEQ) of a 40 MW/ 80 MWh DC-coupled solar plus storage system to the Hickory Park Solar project in Georgia, US. The owner of the project is RWE Renewables, one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies. The Wärtsilä system will enable a subsidiary of RWE Renewables, Hickory Park Solar, LLC, to sell nearly 200 MW of generation from the solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to Georgia Power Company. The order was booked by Wärtsilä in 4Q20.
