Honeywell has announced that it will supply its battery energy storage system (BESS) technology to six solar PV projects in the US Virgin Islands, St Kitts & Nevis, and the rest of the island territories. The projects will enable 30% of energy consumed on both the USVirgin Islands and St. Kitts and Nevis to come from renewable energy sources. Honeywell’s battery storage units totalling 124MWh will be paired with 140MWdc of solar PV at six solar parks spread out on St Thomas, St Croix and St John, the three main islands that comprise the territory. The move represents a significant step forward for the US. Other projects for Honeywell’s BESS division include what could be Vietnam’s first grid-scale BESS asset.
