Billion Watts Technologies commissions 64MW energy storage site in Taiwan

Billion Watts Technologies, a subsidiary of Billion Electric, has completed a 64MW/262.43MWh energy storage facility in central Taiwan.

The project, developed with Shinshin Credit Corporation, became operational in March and supports Taiwan Power Company’s E-dReg ancillary services market.

The facility contributes to grid stability by providing energy shifting and frequency regulation.

With a response time of 200 milliseconds, it helps manage fluctuations and ensures efficient power supply during peak demand periods.

Fire protection systems integrated into energy storage infrastructure

Billion Watts Technologies has incorporated fire safety measures into the site’s design to meet regulatory and operational safety standards.

The facility features dedicated firewalls, safety distance planning, and on-site water reserves.

A fire suppression system has been installed to detect and mitigate potential fire risks.

Real-time monitoring and anomaly detection further enhance safety by allowing early intervention.

These measures set new benchmarks for fire protection in Taiwan’s energy storage sector.

Energy storage supports Taiwan’s renewable energy transition

The facility can store enough electricity to power approximately 26,000 households daily.

As Taiwan increases its reliance on renewable energy, large-scale battery storage solutions are needed to manage fluctuations in solar and wind power generation.

According to Taiwan’s Energy Administration, renewables accounted for 11.6% of the country’s electricity supply in 2024.

The International Energy Agency has highlighted battery storage as a critical component for ensuring grid stability during Taiwan’s transition to low-carbon energy.

Billion Watts expands energy storage projects in Japan and Australia

Billion Watts Technologies is expanding its operations to Japan and Australia, aiming to meet growing demand for energy storage solutions.

In Japan, the company plans to develop high-voltage storage stations and deploy 1,000 commercial and industrial storage systems over the next three years.

In Australia, Billion Watts is participating in the National Electricity Market, targeting ten sub-5MW site acquisitions by 2026.

The company is also exploring investments in projects exceeding 50MW to capitalise on price volatility driven by renewable energy adoption.
