With the establishment of Altenso Australia Pty Ltd and Altenso Africa (Pty) Ltd., the international system integrator strengthens its regional activities in two strategically important markets for sustainable energy solutions. Backed by a proven track record of over 1.5 GW of installed battery capacity (BESS=Battery Energy Storage Systems) and more than 1 GW of delivered power technology for hydrogen projects, Altenso is perfectly positioned to support the realization of ambitious clean energy targets.
The Managing Directors at Altenso, Burkhard Söhngen and Dr.-Ing Enrique Garralaga, comment: “Altenso Australia and Altenso Africa mark a key milestone in the Altenso journey, paving the way for further growth in our BESS and hydrogen businesses. We are excited to collaborate with local partners and actively contribute to a sustainable energy future in these regions.”
Current projects in Australia and Africa
Altenso recently announced a strategic partnership with the Australian project developer Avenis Energy. Together, the companies will deliver two standalone BESS projects in New South Wales: Moree and Deniliquin BESS, each with a capacity of 120 MW / 480 MWh, are on track to reach ready-to-build status within the coming months.
In Africa, Altenso is focusing on the development and implementation of battery storage projects, system integration and pilot initiatives, targeting enhanced energy reliability in regions with weak grid infrastructure.
Altenso is a subsidiary of SMA Technology AG. The company has over 40 years of inverter technology know-how, its innovative large-scale solutions feature grid-forming technology, inertia, and black-start functionality. In addition, Altenso and its subsidiaries benefit from SMA’s strong global network and service capabilities.
