- Nanotech Energy Europe B.V. signs an agreement for more than 1 Gwh to supply battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Greece
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nanotech Energy Europe B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nanotech Energy Inc., today confirms that it has signed a Master Purchase Agreement to supply BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) of more than 1 GWh until 2028 to Smile Energy in Athens, Greece.
This agreement highlights the paramount value of Nanotech's safe, long-cycle graphene battery for the energy storage market. The partnership with Smile Energy will enable the immediate expansion of Nanotech's energy storage business to a region that has committed to developing the world's leading solar infrastructure. Together, Nanotech and Smile will play a key role in supporting Greece and the surrounding region in taking the next steps to ensure infrastructure stability and continuity of energy supply.
Dr. Jack Kavanaugh, CEO and President of Nanotech Energy, Inc., said: "We are delighted to secure these deals with one of Europe's most forward-thinking renewable energy providers. As the world transitions to a new energy mix, battery storage will be critical to maximizing green energy opportunities and we look forward to working closely with Smile Energy for many years to come."
Ioannis Apostolos Bobolas, CEO of Smile Energy, said: "Using Nanotech Energy's safe graphene battery technology will give us a clear competitive advantage when it comes to energy storage. The climate of southern Europe is ideal for energy but it also presents challenges. The fact that Nanotech Energy's battery technology is safe, lasts longer than traditional batteries, and operates in temperatures up to 60°C is a compelling proposition."
Smile Energy aims to operate the first commercial stationary BESS for various Greek islands. It currently has 300 MW of solar developments in Greece, Bulgaria and Romania, along with 700 MWh of energy storage under development in the same region. It will now use Nanotech Energy's safe and non-flammable battery technology to consider developing BESS for private households, commercial real estate and the marine sector and expanding to the Balkans and the Middle East. www.smile-energy.gr
