Fluence and Centrica collaborate with Google for providing zero-emission backup power system
Fluence (NASDAQ:FLNC) and Centrica Business Solutions,Â provider of integrated energy solutions that balance profitability and sustainability, announcedÂ collaboration with Google (GOOGL) for the supply and optimization of a zero-emission energy backup system at a hyperscale data centre in Saint-Ghislain.
For Google, it is the first-of-its-kind project globally that uses a battery-based energy storage system to reduce the number of diesel generators needed to provide backup power to the facility.
Centrica will connect the battery storage assets to the Belgian electricity grid, allowing Googleâs on-site batteries to flexibly store and discharge energy using Centrica's specialized FlexPond software.
