BYD Energy Storage has won a contract to supply 11.275 GWh of battery storage for Masdar’s Round the Clock (RTC) project in Abu Dhabi — one of the single largest energy storage procurements ever signed. The RTC project pairs a 5.2 GW solar array with a 19 GWh battery system, making it the world’s largest combined solar-plus-storage plant. BYD’s award covers the majority of that storage.
Masdar and the Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) are building the RTC plant to do something solar has never reliably done at gigawatt scale: deliver clean power 24-hours-a-day.
BYD reports that its share of the project is a single battery station rated at 1,644 MW / 11,275 MWh, using the company’s Haohan storage system. That one station holds more energy than most countries’ entire grid-storage fleets.
