Levanta Renewables, Southeast Asia's leading renewable energyplatform backed by Actis announced the award and signing of an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract with China Energy Engineering Group (CEEC) for the Barotac Solar Power and Battery Energy Storage.
The project will replace the microgrid's existing lithium-ion BESS with a larger, more efficient, modern, and safer BESS with a nameplate capacity of 8 MW/ 32 MWh. The more efficient BESS would not result in higher energy consumption or expansion of the utilities plant.
In 2025, the typical cost of commercial lithium battery energy storage systems, including the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, ranges from $280 to $580 per kWh.
Built to meet IEC 62271, IEC 60076, and GB/T 17467 standards, it is ideal for utility-scale BESS, PV+storage hybrid systems, EV charging stations, and microgrids. Handles energy transfer from DC battery banks to AC grids with safe bidirectional flow.
