Pozbud T&R Spolka Akcyjna and Elmodis Sp. z o.o. announced a new partnership with Durapower. European power grid utilities, photovoltaics and windfarms will be able to explore sourcing their Energy Storage Systems (ESS) from Europe. The strategic partnership, which takes the form of a Memorandum Of Understanding, formalises the mutual interaction and strengthens the existing relationship between Durapower, Pozbud and Elmodis at both the strategic and working level, focusing on the manufacturing and delivery of Lithium-Ion Batteries for use in containerised ESS systems. This aspiration is to contribute to lowering the European region's emissions from its current value to 20% by 2050, with a view to achieving net-zero emissions as soon as viable. As part of the new strategic partnership, the agreement will give European energy companies direct access to an alternative source for ESS, providing a seamless, hassle-free sourcing experience and enhanced client support experiences including tax-reliefs and after-sales care. This latest cooperation allows strategic partners Pozbud and Elmodis the opportunity to create affordable 'Made In Europe' containerised ESS products under the Durapower brand. In addition to providing the essential technology to support the creation of ESS for industrial applications in the European region, the joint venture will also see the establishment of a new manufacturing plant in Poland. The plant is expected to kick-off operations in phases, working towards an annual production capacity of up to 2 GWh when fully operational. Serving as the point of introduction for European energy companies, the manufacturing plant will incorporate a full range of high-tech maintenance services, including predictive maintenance, data analytics and technical expertise in Industrial Internet Of Things along with EPC, Manufacturing and Construction capabilities. Durapower expects the European Union-based plant to contribute towards a significant share of its European growth expansion plan. The planned joint venture will allow the working group to kickstart the production and assembly of modules and racks, eventually leading to localise Durapower's European battery cell sourcing and manufacturing. This cooperation is expected to serve as the point of entry into the European market for ESS, providing all parties the opportunity to expand sales of the new company's ESS in general.
