Solid Start

During the planning phase, we tackled challenges around lead time, labor, durability, and quality, creating an efficient solution.

Our Metal Works division:

  • Engineered and calculated the structural strength of the skids.
  • Welded and assembled them at our Sliedrecht workshop.

After, the skids are galvanized to enhance their durability and prevent rust, ensuring they can support 56 tons.

Our EMS installation team:

  • Installed cables, cabinets, and DC-bus cabinets on the skids
  • Connects the installation to the HV grid

Sustainable Solution

Each skid will house Alfen batteries with a total capacity of 40 MWh—enough to power your home and those of 12 neighbors for a year, using renewable wind energy! This system balances the high-voltage grid by storing surplus energy and providing backup when needed.

Collaboration for a Greener Future

With durable skids, expert installation, and Alfen’s top-tier batteries, we’re proud to contribute to a more sustainable future. Thanks to Alfen for their trust—here’s to many more innovative projects together!
