Bitech Technologies Corporation, a leader in energy technology solutions, has announced the sale of a significant portion of its solar project portfolio.
This move aligns with Bitech’s strategic focus on the rapidly growing battery energy storage systems (BESS) market, a sector experiencing significant growth, particularly in the United States, as exemplified by X-ELIO’s 2023 project.
Greenfield Solar Projects Sold for $19.4 Million
Bitech Technologies has finalized an agreement with Bridgelink Development LLC to sell greenfield solar projects, acquired during the merger with Emergen Energy LLC. Bitech Technologies sold these projects, with a total capacity of 2.425 GW, for $19.4 million, contingent on the completion of interconnection points and land rights.
This sale is part of a broader strategy set by Bitech’s board of directors to concentrate resources on the development of BESS projects. Bitech’s President and CEO, Benjamin Tran, emphasized the importance of this decision due to the substantial opportunities offered by the rapidly growing U.S. BESS market, known for its high return on investment potential.
Growth Opportunities in the BESS Sector
Bitech’s President, Cole Johnson, stated that the sale of non-strategic solar projects would not only generate current and future revenue but also solidify valuable operational partnerships with leading renewable infrastructure groups.
Bitech’s BESS portfolio is substantial, with an estimated capacity of 1.965 GW. By investing in the financing and development of these projects, the company aims to create lasting value for its shareholders and position itself as a leader in energy storage solutions.
U.S. BESS Market: A Favorable Environment
The battery energy storage systems market has experienced significant growth in the United States, driven by the integration of renewable energy sources, the need to stabilize the power grid, and economic and political incentives.
In 2023, the cumulative capacity of BESS installations increased by 96%, demonstrating the sector’s rapid expansion.
With a well-established regulatory framework and strong demand for energy storage solutions, the U.S. market offers a stable and secure environment for investors, making it an attractive opportunity for international financial partners. By refocusing its efforts on BESS, Bitech Technologies aims to establish itself as a key player in sustainable energy and energy storage, while maximizing revenue and profits for its project financing partners.
