Sungrow Supplies the Largest Solar-plus-Storage Option for Egypt Mining Site

• The arrival of renewable energy at extracting sites is a welcome growth as these sites usually use fuels like diesel for their power requirements.
• The drop in storage expenses in addition to greater reliability and performance is allowing the adjustment.

Sungrow, the international leading inverter solution provider for renewables, has revealed an agreement to provide equipment to the German programmer juwi for the 36 MW off-grid solar ranch and also a 7.5 MW battery energy storage system at Sukari cash cow run by Centamin in Egypt. The project will certainly be the biggest solar-plus-storage plant located at a mine site, dramatically assisting in the energy transition for minerals in the MENA area.

The project is located near the Red Sea, dealing with the difficulty of scorching heat as well as high corrosion. Sungrow has actually offered the 1,500 V 6.25 MW PV inverter solution and the highly integrated energy storage space system with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The complete style makes it reliable on transportation, installation and also O&M. Equipped with smart forced air-cooling modern technology and also C5 high anti-corrosion capacity, the option can operate stably without derating in severe problems. Moreover, the solution allows greater returns in compliance with bifacial solar modules.

The project is arranged to be appointed in the initial fifty percent of 2022. It will reduce the mine's diesel consumption by around 20 to 22 million litres per year as well as therefore balance out in between 53,000 and 60,000 tonnes of CO2 discharges annually. The solar-plus-storage micro-grid installation will certainly make it possible for Centamin to tangibly minimize its mine's electricity costs, as the driver will partly change far from fuel, which is often unpredictable in rate.

"We're excited to support the decarbonization of the mining industry and also drive down energy expenses for our customers. We are delighted to partner with entities such as Sungrow to unlock long-term benefits for all our stakeholders," claimed Amiram Roth-Deblon, Director Global Business Initatives at juwi AG, the EPC company.

"We would certainly love to supply the most effective of ecological sustainability with innovative PV and storage space portfolio as an essential gamer in the sector. The solar-plus-storage micro-grid option is also a perfect service for areas with power interruptions or high power need," said Alvin Shi, Managing Director of Sungrow MENA area.

A growing number of mining business have made substantial ground to reduce their power prices and the environmental effect of their daily operations. Sungrow is currently the marketplace leader by market share in MENA, declares the firm.
