"Irizar e-mobility, EMT Madrid and Iberdrola have launched a pilot project to reuse electric bus batteries in a stationary energy storage system at the EMT operations centre in Fuencarral. The project focuses on extending the useful life of batteries that have reached the end of their first life by repurposing them for other applications. It is positioned as part of Irizar e-mobility's activity as a strategic partner in decarbonisation solutions and reflects the company's stated commitment to environmental sustainability."
"Irizar e-mobility has been designing and manufacturing its own batteries for more than seven years, supplying them across its entire electric bus range. According to the company, the reuse and second life of batteries has been a priority for several years, supported through collaborations with different entities to promote circular economy practices in this field. The storage container has a maximum energy capacity of 1 MWh and a charging and discharging power of 500 kW."
Irizar e-mobility, EMT Madrid and Iberdrola implemented a pilot to repurpose end-of-first-life electric bus batteries into a stationary energy storage system at Fuencarral. The initiative extends battery useful life by redeploying vehicle batteries for energy storage and charging support. The installation incorporates fifteen battery racks removed from three Irizar e-mobility buses, delivering 1 MWh of energy capacity and 500 kW of charge/discharge power. The container integrates with EMT Madrid's smart charging infrastructure and is developed under the PERTE VEC (CAPITAL) programme. Similar second-life battery projects have been undertaken across several European countries.
