The Port Moresby Power Station will provide reliable power to Port Moresby and is the lowest cost dedicated grid connected thermal generation in the country. Replacing heavy fuel oil and diesel, the gas-fired power plant also brings a material reduction in the environmental impact from power generation in PNG.
PORT MORESBY – In a significant boost to Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) infrastructure, the United States has awarded a contract valued at approximately US$400 million (around K1.6 billion) for the development of a major fuel storage facility in Port Moresby.
“This project reflects the strength of our bilateral relationship and is the result of ongoing dialogue and collaboration with PNG,” Yastishock said. The facility is designed to hold more than 1.6 million barrels—or about 264 million litres—of fuel, significantly boosting PNG’s energy security.
US Ambassador Ann Marie Yastishock announced that the investment was initiated in response to a formal request from the PNG Government. She highlighted that the facility would not only meet the country's fuel storage demands but also enhance the diversity of fuel options available in the market.
To minimize the dependence on grid-supplied electricity, ports are also investing in renewable generation notably PV solar on warehouse roofing and parking areas. Energy storage is also needed to optimize utilization of in-port generation and avoid curtailment when generation exceeds the available demand.
Go big with our modular design for easy additional solar power capacity. Customize your container according to various configurations, power outputs, and storage capacity according to your needs. Lower your environmental impact and achieve sustainability objectives by using clean, renewable solar energy.
ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The wholesale price of energy varies every half-hour, and on a time-of-day tariff this variation is passed onto users.
Customize your container according to various configurations, power outputs, and storage capacity according to your needs. Lower your environmental impact and achieve sustainability objectives by using clean, renewable solar energy. Lower energy/maintenance costs ensure operational savings.

The 2-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) is the largest in Hungary, Switzerland-headquartered MET Group said, deployed at its Dunamenti thermal power plant in Százhalombatta, near Budapest.
The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary’s power grid. Hungary has just switched on its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to date, stepping up its role in Central Europe’s growing grid-scale energy transition.
MET Group has switched on Hungary’s largest battery, a 40 MW/80 MWh system, at the site of a power station near Budapest. From ESS News Swiss-based energy company MET Group has officially inaugurated Hungary’s largest standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, located close to Budapest.
The new facility boasts a total power output of 40 MW and a storage capacity of 80 MWh. This project significantly expands MET Group’s energy storage portfolio in Hungary. It joins a smaller 4 MW / 8 MWh demonstrator BESS, which utilizes Tesla Megapack 2 batteries and was installed at the same site in 2022.
