EIG’s Fidra Energy and Sungrow Enter into Strategic Partnership on 4.4GWh BESS Projects

Published

on

HEFEI, China and EDINBURGH, UK, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fidra Energy and Sungrow today announced the signing of a strategic 4.4GWh[1] energy storage partnership agreement to support Fidra’s plans to establish a 10GW battery energy storage system (“BESS”) platform across the UK and other European markets by 2030 (the “Agreement”). 

Under the Agreement, Sungrow will supply its liquid-cooled energy storage system (ESS) PowerTitan 2.0 to two of Fidra’s UK sites. The systems are to be of two-hour duration initially with expansion potential to a four-hour system. Sungrow will provide long-term maintenance services for both projects.

The first of Fidra’s sites to have Sungrow’s PowerTitan 2.0 installed will be its flagship Thorpe Marsh development located in South Yorkshire. Thorpe Marsh will be one of the largest battery storage sites globally and is expected to have enough capacity to power up to 800,000 homes in the UK during peak hours of electricity demand. Construction of the site is scheduled to begin in 2025.

The second site will be West Burton C, located in Nottinghamshire, UK. The project is expected to have the capacity to power up to 300,000 homes in the UK during peak hours of electricity demand.  Construction of the site is scheduled to begin in 2026.

Chris Elder, Fidra Energy’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Battery storage is a proven, cost-effective and flexible technology that will be critical for Europe’s energy transition. Our strategy is focused on building and operating big batteries in major markets. Sungrow has demonstrated that it will be an excellent partner, and we look forward to working with them to support our UK and European growth ambitions.”

James Wu, Senior Vice President of Sungrow, commented: “This collaboration with Fidra Energy represents a shared commitment to energy innovation and an investment in the UK’s sustainable future. The PowerTitan 2.0 is designed specifically for grid-forming, significantly enhancing the resilience and stability of the UK’s power grid while enabling efficient and long-term participation in the ancillary service market. By bringing our PowerTitan 2.0 technology to these landmark projects, we’re setting a new standard for safe, cost-effective, and reliable energy storage solutions to support the UK’s renewable energy goals for years to come.”

SINGAPORE, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cargobase, a logistics technology platform for enterprise shippers, today announced that it has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, specifically meeting the Security, Availability and Confidentiality (SAC) Trust Services Criteria. This independent verification underscores Cargobase’s commitment to data security, system reliability and the protection of sensitive information, reinforcing the company’s dedication to setting industry benchmarks in secure logistics solutions. This attestation complements Cargobase’s ISO 27001 certification, further strengthening the foundation of trust our customers rely on.

“We’re proud to announce that Cargobase has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance, demonstrating our commitment to data security and meeting the evolving needs of our clients. Recognizing the growing importance of this requirement within the industry, we’ve invested in robust security measures to provide our customers with the confidence and assurance they require,” said Wiebe Helder, CEO at Cargobase.

“In the dynamic world of logistics and supply chain management, large volumes of sensitive data are exchanged daily,” said Arnout Wagenaar, Chief Strategy Officer at Cargobase. “Data security is paramount for our customers, who entrust us with information critical to their operations. Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance underscores our unwavering commitment to data integrity and protection, thus building trust with our partners and allowing us to better serve the needs of enterprise shippers worldwide.”

Understanding SOC 2 Compliance

The SOC 2 framework is a globally recognized standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It focuses on Trust Services Criteria, including Security, Availability and Confidentiality to ensure that systems are protected from unauthorized access, reliably available to customers and employees, and that sensitive information remains confidential.

What is SOC 2 Type II Compliance?

Obtaining a SOC 2 report involves a CPA audit to attest to an organization’s security controls. It aims to determine whether the controls put in place are designed correctly.

Type I reports evaluate an organization’s controls at a single point in time, whereas a Type II report examines how well those controls perform over a period of time (typically 3-12 months).

What it means for our customers

This achievement reaffirms Cargobase’s position as a trusted partner for enterprise shippers worldwide. By prioritizing data security, we empower our clients to navigate the complexities of global logistics with peace of mind.
