FALCK RENEWABLES WINS 7.5 MW ON TERNA AUCTIONS WITH ULTRA-FAST FREQUENCY REGULATION SERVICE PILOT PROJECT

Milan, Italy, December 15, 2020 – On December 10, Falck Renewables S.p.A. – through its subsidiaries Falck Next S.r.l. for development and Falck Next Energy S.r.l. for dispatching – won 7.5 MW of storage power in the auction for the procurement of the ultra-fast frequency regulation service (Fast Reserve) that allows the participation of batteries in the dispatching services market.

Confirming its role as an enabler for the energy transition, Falck Renewables won the auction, at the allocation price of € 18,800/MW/year, with the project for S.V. Port Service, a company providing services in the ports of Savona and Vado Ligure. The Project involves the installation of an electrochemical storage system near the electrical station that powers the logistics platform of the Savona port.

Fifty-three players for more than 1.3 GW cumulated participated to the procedure, in which Terna awarded about 250 MW of storage power. The MW offered are equal to over 5 times the demanded amount, a sign that the storage technology is mature and the market is interested in projects that will allow more and more resources to contribute to the flexibility and security of the national grid.

“Being protagonists of the energy transition is our mission” – commented Toni Volpe, CEO of Falck Renewables S.p.A. – “for this reason we are active along the entire energy chain and work on the continuous implementation and diversification of our services, also through the participation in projects such as the one proposed by Terna, which allows for the first time storage systems to provide the power grid with the ultra-fast frequency reserve service, another step for the regulation and stability of the grid“.
