The US-based Pomega Energy Storage Technologies, specialising in lithium iron phosphate battery production, will install a 62-megawatt (MW)/104-megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Oslomej 80-megawatt-peak (MWp) solar plant in North Macedonia, operated by the Turkish renewables company Fortis Energy. The deal is valued at approximately 19.65 million dollars (about 18,88 million euros).
The Oslomej solar power plant has become a model of the green energy transition in the region by transforming an abandoned coal mine site into a renewable energy source. With a total installed capacity of 79,882 kilowatt-peak (kWp), the plant generates 120 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually.
The storage system is expected to begin operation in the second half of 2025.
