QIC Global Infrastructure–owned Pacific Energy has acquired solar and battery microgrid specialist Hybrid Systems Australia in an effort to strengthen its capabilities in the emerging integrated renewables market.
Pacific Energy will maintain the Hybrid Systems’ brand name and support it through funding, resources and facilities to capitalize on the emerging opportunities in the hybrid power systems market.
Pacific Energy CEO Jamie Cullen said the purchase would help existing mining customers reduce their carbon footprint and also establish a strong foothold for Pacific Energy in the developing market for stand-alone power systems (SPS) and microgrid systems.
Across its portfolio of projects to date, the company has developed capabilities to supply integrated SPS, microgrid and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) that range from 3 kilowatts for single fringe of grid customers up to 10-megawatt microgrid systems for towns and mine sites.
