South Mimms, Welcome Break Motorway Services - Case Study

Summary
South Mimms was one of the world’s first stationary battery storage assets co-located with an electric vehicle charging station. Operational since March 2017, the award-winning site has provided a blueprint for the growth of EV charging infrastructure globally, allowing electric vehicles to be charged quickly and efficiently whilst minimising energy costs and reducing pressure on energy grids, making battery storage and electric vehicle charger co-location commercially viable. Solutions that effectively integrate vehicle charging with battery storage are essential to support the transition to net zero.

Open Energi’s Dynamic Demand 2.0 platform continuously optimises the battery’s State of Charge (SoC) to meet drivers’ needs and manage site constraints whilst maximising value streams from peak price avoidance and grid services.
