Corre Energy BV, a developer in the realm of long-duration energy storage, has revealed its strategic collaboration with Siemens Energy AG for the implementation of compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology in a project located in West Texas. This partnership is part of a broader initiative aimed at deploying multi-day electricity storage solutions on a global scale.
The agreement between Corre Energy and Siemens Energy plays a pivotal role in advancing Corre’s international project portfolio, ensuring it moves closer to the financial closure of its diverse pipeline of initiatives. This collaboration is further catalyzed by the escalating demand from offtakers seeking sustainable energy solutions. Notably, it establishes a framework for providing a standardized and scalable multi-day CAES solution, granting Corre Energy the ability to optimize delivery timelines.
Chet Lyons, President of Corre Energy US Development Company LLC, expressed his admiration for Siemens Energy’s groundbreaking advancements, particularly in demonstrating the viability of their turbines running on hydrogen—a critical element in Corre Energy’s commitment to clean energy initiatives.
The agreement was formalized in Denmark, with Corre’s CEO, Keith McGrane, and Siemens Energy’s Senior Vice President of Industrial Steam Turbines and Generators, Tobias Panse, signing the pact.
Earlier this year, Corre Energy sealed an exclusivity agreement to acquire a 280-MW CAES project in Texas from Contour Energy LLC, marking the company’s inaugural investment in the United States market. In a recent statement, Corre Energy reaffirmed its dedication to developing multiple CAES projects in North America, solidifying its commitment to enhancing sustainable energy solutions in the region.
