Younicos is celebrating a triple achievement. The specialists for intelligent storage and grids have won the GreenTec Award for 2014. Berlin-based Younicos had been nominated in the category energy in recognition of the green pioneer’s development and construction of Europe’s first commercial battery park. After winning the KYOCERA Environmental Prize and the Bloomberg New Energy Pioneer Award, this already marks the third major environmental and business award for Younicos this year.

Younicos founder and CTO Clemens Triebel accepted the "Green Oscar" in a prestigious award ceremony held in Munich on May 4. In front of an audience of more than 1,000 high-profile guests from the fields of politics, business and media, Triebel thanked not only his staff, but also project partner WEMAG: "Through their pioneering decision to join us in building Europe's first commercial battery park, WEMAG has shown how innovative energy suppliers and shapers of the energy transition can push the energy transition in a way that’s spirited, economical and profitable for all parties. Intelligent High power storage, such as the Wemag Battery Park, is the key to a more efficient, greener and more economical energy system. It makes the grid more intelligent, flexible and resilient, and allows us to shrink the old fossil-nuclear system as the new renewable and decentralized system grows.”

The GreenTec Awards are Europe’s largest environmental and business prize.

Background

Batteries provide system services such as frequency or voltage stability significantly faster, more accurately and cheaper than conventional power plants. According to recent figures from the German Energy Agency (dena), by 2030, the installation of 551 megawatts of battery storage will save 241.6 million euros annually.

About Younicos

Younicos makes grids and storage intelligent - and thus fit for more renewable energy. Our solutions enable grid operators to shut down their conventional generators when enough wind and solar power are available. Because Younicos’ control and energy management software optimizes usage, availability and Battery life, leading cell manufacturers provide 20-year performance guarantees on our systems.
