Ambri energy storage systems

Ambri, a provider of energy storage systems, announced an agreement to deliver a pilot system to Reliance Industries (RIL).

RIL is one of the investors in Ambri.

Reliance is planning 100 GW of solar generation capacity and announced setting up of giga scale battery manufacturing to support round the clock and firm power supported by reliable, clean, and affordable energy.

Reliance Industries has set an ambitious target of achieving net-zero carbon by 2035 and has committed to invest more than $10 billion to come with a mix of energy solutions that leverage hydrogen, wind, solar, fuel cells, and batteries at their own facilities.

“The agreement paves the way for us to engage in discussions for testing and installation of Ambri’s demo installation at Jamnagar, India and further progress our joint development work to set up large scale manufacturing of Ambri systems in India,” said Sanjay Mashruwala, Director, Reliance New Energy.

Ambri’s system will ship by mid-2023 and is set for commissioning immediately thereafter. This MOU is further to the strategic partnership agreement signed between Reliance and Ambri last year providing for an exclusive collaboration to set up a large-scale battery manufacturing facility in India.
