Energy storage start-up NGEN has announced the launch of a 12.6 MW/22.6 MWh battery system in northwestern Slovenia. The business was set up in the middle of last year to bring to fruition a grid balancing battery system conceived in 2015 and developed by early last year, according to a press release issued on Saturday.
Merlak co-founded NGEN with Roman Bernard, according to Tesla. The company reportedly intends to develop a second battery system in Slovenia before July and also offers residential storage systems which can harness its grid balancing technology.
New company NGEN appears to have introduced the Powerpack battery to central Europe in a €15 million, 12.6 MW/22.6 MWh project in the northwest of the country which is the first of two planned utility scale systems due for completion by July. The project could integrate 250 MW of new renewable generation capacity into the grid.
