E.ON teams up with tech provider to develop battery systems

Vertiv will install the technical infrastructure while the energy company will be the interface to the energy market

E.ON has teamed up with a technology provider to develop battery systems.

The lithium batteries will serve as a back-up as well as feed electricity to the power grid when demand is low or a firm’s consumption is high.

This will help stabilise the grid while opening up a new source of income for operators.

Vertiv will install the technical infrastructure while E.ON will be the interface to the energy market.

Bernd Schumacher, CEO of E.ON Connecting Energies said: “Our energy world is becoming increasingly decentralised. With the joint offer from E.ON and Vertiv, we are preparing our customers for this change.

“Your plants make a contribution to the energy transition, from which they even benefit. This economic and equally sustainable approach is a win-win situation.”
