Walla Solar Farm Helps Australia's GRS Seal Year with Almost 2 GW Pipeline at Hometurf
Australia's largest EPC company GRS, a part of Gransolar Group, has actually participated in an agreement with renewable energy Independent Power Producer Fotowatio Renewable Ventures Australia (FRV Australia) to develop the Walla solar plant. The plant, which is to find up in New South Wales, will possess a capacity of 300 MWac. Walla Walla is the outcome of a collaboration in between Gransolar Group, which will certainly create a joint venture with CHINT Solar/Astronergy, as well as renewable energy solutions programmer Fotowatio Renewable Ventures Australia (FRV Australia), co-owned by Abdul Latif Jameel Energy as well as Canadian fund OMERS. The solar farm, supplied with solar trackers from PV Hardware, will certainly be located 4 kilometers from the town of Walla as well as about 40 kilometers north of Albury, and will certainly contribute to powering the electrical grid. The project will comprise close to 700,000 photovoltaic panels with singe axis tracking and also have an annual output of 720,000 megawatt hours. FRV has confirmed that the project will certainly produce 250 jobs throughout the construction phase. Besides, in between three as well as four professionals will be employed completely for operation and also maintenance tasks that will certainly adhere to. On top of that, several agreements will certainly be reached with regional companies in the area for details jobs. Gransolar claims that it deals with the philosophy of contributing to the financial growth of the areas in which it operates, in this instance a location populated by the Wiradjuri people. The claimed project aligns with its vision. Carlos López, Managing Director of Gransolar Group in Australia, highlighted the significance of working with significant companions like FRV to add to the nation's goal of sustainability, "Solar PV is readied to play a leading role in Australia's accelerating change, as well as Gransolar is very honored to be able to add our expertise to projects of the relevance of Walla Walla." As discussed previously, the Walla project is an ambitious one which will certainly help the Australian Government achieve the obstacle of mounting more than 60 million 500-watt photovoltaic panels by 2030. Fifty percent a million of these will certainly already be set up in Walla Walla. GRS' visibility at hometurf Gransolar Group maintains that it has actually been considering the objective of decreasing dependancy on fossil fuels as well as is committed to the penetration of renewable resources instead. The new project in the portfolio of GRS will certainly aid its energy shift in Australia where it has actually already developed a solid presence. The stated project will be GRS' 13th photovoltaic or pv project in Australia. Currently, GRS has near to 2 GWp of capacity in Australia, where it is the leading EPC contractor and also provides services associated with design together with solar trackers, and storage solutions. The pipeline has actually seen a rise with the recent enhancement of heaven Grass plant (200 MW) for X-Elio- amongst Queensland's 50 large-scale renewable projects. The pipeline is readied to development better in the coming time once the Wellington North (425 MW) as well as Wunghnu (90 MW) plants for Lightsource bp, that are presently unfinished, reach completion. GRS, which specialises in developing photovoltaic solar plants and connecting them to the grid, presently has 117 plants that operate around the globe. With 2.5 GW of installed capacity globally already in its portfolio, one more 2 GW is under advancement. Relative to O&M line, the firm operates around 2 GW. When it comes to FRV, the company says that it expects financial investment worth $United States 1.5 billion in asset as well as infrastructure to accelerate its installed capacity to increase to around 4 GW by 2024.

MoU for vanadium redox flow battery collaboration in Australia
Australian Vanadium Ltd. (AVL) has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with EPC service provider Metrowest Power Systems to pursue opportunities to deploy vanadium redox flow battery technology (VRFB) in Australia. The companies hope to push forward with larger projects and pave the way for the VRFB technology to demonstrate its strengths. The new alliance will rely on Metrowest’s track record and connections in the industrial and utility sectors, as well as the financial, marketing and technical capabilities of AVL. The latter’s 100%-owned subsidiary, VSUN Energy, provides promotion, installation and maintenance of energy storage solutions using VRFB. “This agreement will allow the companies to work together to bring to fruition some of the bigger project opportunities that we’ve been unable to tackle on our own,” said Vincent Algar, managing director of AVL. “VSUN’s marketing and energy analysis has been very successful, but with a lack of experience in implementation it has certainly been difficult to persuade government agencies, for example, about the aptitude of the company and the VRFBs it offers.” The MOU is for an initial term of 12 months, during which time the parties will investigate the potential to formalize the partnership. VSUN Energy and Metrowest will continue to offer VRFB from a variety of manufacturers, with joint projects being focused on 250 kW/1 MWh up to the multi-megawatt scale. AVL is also developing its Australian Vanadium Project, one of the highest-grade vanadium projects globally, with 183.6 million tons at 0.76% vanadium pentoxide. Proven ore reserves amount to 9.82 million tons at 1.07% and the project holds a probable reserve of 8.42 million tons at 1.01%. The company has also developed local production capacity for high-purity vanadium electrolyte, which forms a key component of VRFB. As for other grid-scale VRFB developments, Canadian company CellCube Energy Storage Systems and Pangea Energy have revealed plans to install a 50 MW/200 MWh vanadium redox flow battery storage system in South Australia. The Pangea Storage Project is in the latter stages of pre-development at a 79-hectare Port Augusta site. Pending due diligence and review the constructions are set to take place in late 2019.
