to establish itself as an important component


of our energy system.” E.ON worked with Nidec ASI to install the


battery system. Matteo Rizzi, Nidec Industrial Solutions’ Director Global Sales, said: "Working with E.ON on the Blackburn Meadows energy storage project has been a real pleasure. “It takes strong collaboration between all


parties to make projects like this a success. Nidec looks at each job as a partnership and we believe that this has been key in helping us achieve the 500MWh we have installed globally today. We hope this is just one of many more jobs to come with E.ON." Rizzi continues: “This is the second


important order we have received related to the first round EFR National Grid tender taking our overall market share in terms of MW to 30% in the UK. “We are pleased to be working with E.ON


on this project which we hope will lay the framework for future endeavours where our technology and experience in energy storage can contribute to E.ON’s efforts to provide competitive, reliable solutions and services to their customers.” Customer solutions such as energy


storage, cleaner on-site generation, and energy management are part of a range of energy solutions offered by E.ON to help customers to use energy more efficiently and


make businesses more profitable. To power homes, E.ON already offers its Solar and Storage package, combining solar PV panels and battery technology that allows customers to store the energy they generate from the sun, and potentially saving around 50% on electricity bills3. David Topping added: “Blackburn Meadows


is a real example of the new smart energy world – a renewable energy plant providing electricity to the grid and sustainable and affordable heating and hot water to local businesses. “Batteries at this scale allow us to make best


use of all renewable energy sources by harnessing the energy and having it ready for use whenever it’s needed – increasing the share of renewable energy on the grid while at the same time providing a secure supply for our customers.” This is one of the very first commercial


battery systems in Britain and will provide a necessary technology at times of either an over- or under-supply of energy to the grid, E.ON’s battery system has been designed


to respond within one second, absorbing or discharging power into the local distribution network, ensuring that the power supply and quality is maintained. In fact, E.ON signed a contract with Nidec ASI to supply the battery storage system using its unique power conversion technology.

Customer solutions such as energy storage, cleaner on-site generation, or energy management are part of a range of energy solutions offered by E.ON to help customers to use energy more efficiently and make businesses more profitable. E.ON is now offering battery and energy


storage solutions to commercial customers, ranging from hundreds of kilowatts to tens of megawatts in scale and is able to help larger businesses to cut their energy costs by reducing exposure to peak power prices and grid fees which are due to increase in the coming years. Storage solutions help businesses to


manage their own power needs, making best use of on-site generation or reducing the impact of power cuts or supply interruptions. With E.ON’s help and market access


customers can also generate new revenues by using the storage system in central market applications when not needed on site. To power homes, E.ON began selling its


Aura electricity storage system in Germany last year. The all-in-one solution consists of a storage


device, the E.ON Aura app, and, if desired, a solar PV system allied to an Aura electricity tariff. The system can increase the proportion of self-produced electricity the home consumes from about one third to around 70%, meeting the entire electricity needs of a three or four- person family during evening and night hours. www.eonenergy.com
