Wärtsilä to provide energy storage system for Tampa Electric Company’s growing solar portfolio

Juan Pedro December 19, 2023

In Finland, Wärtsilä said it will supply a 15-megawatt (MW) / 30-megawatt hour (MWh) energy storage system to Tampa Electric Company (TECO), which will be co-located with a 25 MW solar plant in Dover, Florida. The project will ensure grid reliability as the utility scales up its portfolio of solar energy, the firm said. The Wärtsilä facility will provide critical grid services including resource adequacy, frequency support, and solar shifting. “Wärtsilä is proud to work with Tampa Electric Company to provide flexible utility-scale solutions designed to enable more sustainable energy production and management,” said Andrew Tang, Vice President, Wärtsilä Energy Storage & Optimization. “Energy storage allows our customers to optimize renewable energy for a safer and more resilient grid and we’re eager to see this system come to life in 2024.”
