Additional information
The project is a part of Voltalia’s “Mana storage” project which consists of two 5 MW battery storage units. The project will be used to regulate the frequency of the network: by discharging stored electricity on the network when there is a drop in frequency due to lower production, the network operator will be able to offer better service and avoid electricity outages, which remain frequent in Western Guiana. In fact, the storage unit will be able to provide, for a minimum of 30 minutes, the equivalent of the domestic electricity consumption of a city the size of Kourou, the fourth most populated city in French Guiana.
