About ATEPS
ATEPS develops, builds and supplies systems based on batteries that store energy. We call this an Energy Storage System (ESS).
Energy transition is an international policy goal to use sustainable energy operating by 2050. This amounts to around 40,000 wind turbines and 1500 km² of solar panels. On top of that we also have the coalition agreement in which nearly half of CO2 emissions will be reduced in 2030.
This is of great importance for the business community, so now is the time to make the transition to sustainable energy.
The modular structure of ATEPS systems are suitable for both small and larger customers.
