Moixa
The firm says its GridShare technology will help the UK ‘Build Back Better’ after the Covid-19 crisis and stage an economic recovery in a sustainable way
Northern Powergrid and Moixa have trialled a virtual powerplant on the roofs of homes in Oxspring, Barnsley – they found smart home batteries can increase electricity network capacity
Its software will be integrated with Dutch firm Alfen’s EV chargers to create tailored charging plans for consumers
The firm claims it is now managing the world’s largest single fleet of smart batteries
The system will allow consumers to use the electricity generated from their solar panels to charge their EV battery as well as store energy for use in their homes
Moixa currently manages energy storage systems in 7,000 homes across the UK and Japan, aggregating a combined capacity of 70MWh
The first step in the smart local energy system initiative will see solar panels, batteries and EVs installed in Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea
It also unveiled the Honda e Prototype for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show today
The installations across 3,500 households have a combined capacity of 35MWh
The domestic system is able to automatically manage solar panels, batteries and EV charging
