Saft energy storage system to help Svalbard decarbonize

Paris, March 7^th, 2022 – Saft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, has won a turnkey contract for an energy storage system (ESS) for the world’s most northerly community of Longyearbyen in Svalbard, the island group in the Norwegian Arctic region. The new 6 megawatt (MW) and 7 megawatt-hour (MWh) lithium-ion system will be housed in six containers and based on Saft’s Intensium Max High Energy technology. Saft will provide a fully integrated solution that includes power conversion and control systems. It will deliver the project by late 2022, a lead time that is ambitious considering the remote location and environmental conditions.
