naturalness premieres with solar energy inside Australia through the big door. The company’s first facility in the country will also be the first of its kind in-house: the energy company will own its own facility. The first hybrid infrastructure in the world. This is a project purchased from local generator. The Power of the Sun (SBP) and this will combine photovoltaic technology with store. initiative called cunderdin Because it will be located near the Western Australian town so named, it will mean an investment of 160 million euros for the firm.
The company’s goal is to solar capacity 125 megawatts (MW) and reservation system Energy by batteries Up to 220 megawatt hours (MWh). Its construction will begin in the last quarter of this year and it is planned to be ready for commercial operation in the first months of 2024.
“Our commitment is to move forward and promote Naturgy’s leading role in this transition,” says the general manager of the company’s Renewable Energy, New Business and Innovation division. Jorge Blocked, this is a statement. “We want to reach 60% of the installed power from renewable sources in the coming years, and projects like Cunderdin show that our will is strong,” he says.
As defined by this admin, “this is a project ‘ready to build’ (ready to build) compatible with criteria renewable It represents a milestone that contributes to our goal in the medium and long term.”
Another of the technical features of this hybrid plant is that it will be connected to the interconnected system of Southwest Australia (Western Australia’s South West Connected System, SWISS). “The integration of a battery energy storage system with a large-scale photovoltaic plant will allow the project to offer greater flexibility in operation, which will facilitate support of the Australian SWIS wholesale energy market during periods of peak demand in the country,” contextualizes the company in this statement.
Although Naturgy makes its Australian solar debut with this facility, it remains the company’s chairman. Francisco Reynes With several accounts in the country wind projects. In total, the energy company 276 MW installed and operating capacity It concludes the commissioning of batteries, along with a 109 MW energy storage system, which should be commissioned within this year.
In this way, he says that he has strengthened his commitment to this market as one of the most successful companies with the Cunderdin project. rising prospects for renewable development in next years.
