Arenko will use its proprietary, enterprise grade Nimbus software to optimise Orsted’s 20MW Carnegie Road battery energy storage system (“BESS”) in Liverpool, UK.
Nimbus is expected to go live at the site in February and will be used to maximise the trading performance of the BESS across all the main power trading markets and ancillary services.
As the world’s largest offshore wind developer Orsted represents an important new customer for Arenko and a further validation of our product suite.
Following Arenko’s best year to date with major new contract wins with RWE, SMS, Gresham House, Gore Street and Varco in 2024, this deal is the first time Orsted and Arenko are working together and reflects yet another major energy company (having previously also added ENGIE and Vattenfall) turning to Arenko’s Nimbus SaaS solution to run their battery and renewables assets.
Whilst it is being used for optimisation purposes under this deal, Nimbus customers benefit from a range of applications across trading, asset management, site safety and back-office management functions. The Nimbus platform operationalises data flows, unlocks site connectivity and delivers automation linking all stakeholders onto a single common digital platform for their assets.
Rupert Newland, Founder and Chief Executive of Arenko, said: “We are delighted to be working with Orsted on the Carnegie Road BESS project. We look forward to building a strong relationship with them going forward and hope that this is the first of many projects we can work on together!
There is a growing trend of major energy company’s turning to digitalization across their asset portfolios and we are thrilled that Nimbus can support them in these efforts.”
Ray O’Connell, Director of Operations Onshore Ireland UK, of Orsted, said: “We seek to work with local suppliers throughout our development and operational portfolio and we are glad to have found in Arenko a leading local industry expert. We look forward to working together on our journey to further optimise this storage asset.”
