Akkodis and PRIAK enter strategic partnership to promote high-quality energy storage systems in decentralized power grids

Storage systems in the form of energy containers are becoming increasingly important as buffers and to harmonize the flow of renewable electrical energy, as their production and consumption are often irregular and asynchronous. The solution enables high charging capacities to be realized even in locations where the grid has not yet been expanded. The aim of the collaboration is to combine the expertise of both partners in the development, production, and operation of these systems in order to bring solutions to the market that set standards in all relevant criteria.

What role does energy storage play in the transition to clean energy?

Energy storage systems are connected to the power grid and store electrical energy generated by solar panels, wind turbines or other renewable sources. They feed the stored energy into the target application or back into the grid at a more favorable time - for example, at night when solar energy is not available or during a weather event that affects power generation. Energy storage systems ensure the stability and reliability of electricity grids and in certain cases can even act as the sole energy reserve of a local grid, making it independent of external energy providers. 

Thanks to their flexibility, battery-based energy storage systems in a wide range of capacities can be installed almost anywhere - even on the move. For example, they can be used as charging stations in places where there is no local infrastructure, such as on construction sites.

What characterizes the energy containers developed by Akkodis and PRIAK?

The energy containers developed by Akkodis and PRIAK are characterized by their high level of flexibility, as they allow different battery types to be combined. They also offer a performance-optimized design to cover high peak loads, a long service life and high availability. 

These energy storage systems are used in various markets, including integration into large energy grids to optimize grid stability, peak shaving to avoid consumption peaks, use as a charging infrastructure for vehicles and as mobile solutions and emergency power generators. The products are available with storage capacities of 800 kWh to 3200 kWh. The first customer orders have already been successfully secured

How is the strategic cooperation between Akkodis and PRIAK organized?

Akkodis and PRIAK are pooling their strengths and expertise to jointly pioneer energy storage systems. 

As a global technology service provider, Akkodis has highly qualified teams for product development and validation as well as facilities for customized, optimized system design. Akkodis also has in-depth expertise in the integration of energy storage systems into existing and new energy grids. 

PRIAK contributes with its expertise in setting up production and provides specialized, qualified teams for assembly, validation, commissioning, sales, and maintenance. This creates cost-efficient structures that are located in close proximity to the core markets. 

Károly Béres, Vice-President E-Mobility & Powertrain, is excited about the partnership: 

"The partnership with PRIAK allows us to launch innovative energy containers manufactured in Europe starting in 2025. These systems will play a crucial role in stabilizing and optimizing decentralized power grids. We consider ourselves both innovative thinkers and pragmatic makers, ready to actively implement forward-looking solutions.".
