Hithium, a leading global provider of integrated energy storage products and solutions has announced the supply of 640MWh of energy storage capacity to Lightsource bp, a global leader in the development and management of utility-scale renewable energy projects. Hithium is also partnering with INTEC Energy Solutions to deliver the Woolooga BESS Stage 1 project's operation and maintenance services. This project will enhance renewable energy integration in Australia.

The Woolooga BESS project has a total energy storage capacity of 222MW/640MWh, and 128 units of 5MWh BESS containers based on Hithium's specialized prismatic 314Ah cells. The project will bring benefits to the local area, including optimized grid management, load regulation, and continuity and stability of supply, especially at times of high renewable variability.

Hithium President of Global Business, Mizhi Zhang stated, "Lightsource bp is a global leader in renewable energy, and we're proud to be collaborating with them on the Woolooga BESS project. This cooperation marks a significant move for Hithium into the Australian market. Hithium's strengths in energy storage technology will undoubtedly lead to collaborations with more partners in the future, as we continue to introduce innovative energy storage solutions to various markets around the world."

The 5MWh BESS containers use Hithium's specialized prismatic 314Ah cells. They are double-length modules with IP 67 protection grade and use the space in the standard 20-foot container efficiently. This means that the project provides 40% more energy compared to the previous generations.

The product also has cooling technology that keeps the cells at a steady temperature and allows them to continue working in extreme weather conditions. Hithium's focus on engineering cells for stationary energy storage gives it a competitive advantage in the market. This allows the company to offer long-lasting cells with a 25-year warranty. Its strategy allows it to innovate and create stronger, more affordable cells for stationary energy storage.
