Harderwijk, October 15, 2024 – QPOWER GROUP, a leading player in energy storage, proudly announces a strategic partnership with Montea, a prominent logistics real estate investor and developer. This collaboration is part of Montea’s ambitious €50 million investment in battery parks. The QPOWER project starts with the implementation of 7MWh of energy storage at various strategic locations at distribution centers in Belgium.
QPOWER #1 BESS
Montea’s choice for QPOWER emphasises the power of the QPOWER Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). This system offers an unparalleled price-quality ratio and features innovative specifications, such as a guaranteed 8000 cycles, high energy density (95% DoD), PFAS-free fire protection, and a modular, scalable design. These features make the BESS ideal for solar energy storage, energy trading, grid congestion solutions, truck loading, and the 24/7 availability of sustainable energy.
Multi-vendor Flexibility
QPOWER has opted for the advanced, supplier-independent Energy Management System (EMS) from Tibo Energy. This gives Montea the freedom to choose and compare hardware suppliers themselves. The Tibo EMS distinguishes itself through simulation possibilities and is driven by artificial intelligence, optimizes real-time energy management by taking into account variables such as energy prices, weather conditions and grid balance.
Montea’s Sustainable Ambition
With this battery solution, Montea not only reduces the ecological footprint of its logistics centres, but also increases their independence from the electricity grid.
“Our logistics centers are already leading in sustainability. By investing in battery storage, we can meet our customers’ demand for more energy while helping to stabilize the grid,”
Dirk Van Buggenhout, Chief Sustainability Officer bij Montea.
Solution for Grid Congestion
Battery parks also help to solve grid congestion. The Belgian grid operator Elia confirmed in its recent study (2024-2034) that flexibility through battery storage will become a core strategy for the coming years
🌱 The collaboration between QPOWER, Tibo Energy and Montea lays the foundation for a sustainable future for Europe.
