Neoen wins bid to build 300MW Oz battery
Neoen has been granted a 250MW grid solutions contract with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) enabling it to wage the following stage of a prepared 300MW battery in Victoria.
The AEMO tender was started by the Victorian Government.
The Victorian Big Battery will certainly aid to "modernise as well as stabilise" the grid in Victoria and will be "instrumental" in helping the state reach its 50% renewables by 2030 goal, Neoen claimed.
The Victorian Big Battery, anticipated to be functional by the end of 2021, will certainly turn into one of the globe's biggest batteries at double the size of Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia, also possessed and operated by Neoen.
It will certainly be supplied along with Tesla, and also network partner AusNet Services.
The 300MW/450 megawatt-hour Victorian Big Battery will lie alongside Moorabool Terminal Station in Geelong, Victoria.
Grid solutions the battery will supply under contract to AEMO consist of the System Integrity Protection Scheme (SIPS), which will run until 2032 as well as is the outcome of the SIPS 2020 purchase procedure started by the Victorian Government.
The battery will certainly unlock as much as an additional 250MW of peak ability on the existing Victoria to New South Wales Interconnector (VNI) over the following decade of Australian summers.
Under the contract, the battery will offer an automatic response in case of an unexpected network interruption, supplying AEMO with an added ways of guaranteeing grid stability.
The battery will certainly also take part in the National Electricity Market as well as assistance enhanced infiltration of renewables in Victoria via network solutions such as fast frequency control.
The battery will bring about over 80 building jobs and also six full time long-term jobs.
Where possible, regional suppliers will certainly be gotten, with AusNet currently having sourced the project's power transformers from Melbourne-based Wilson Transformer Company.
Regional area structure and education initiatives will certainly likewise be sustained across the project's lifetime via a Community Benefit Fund.
Neoen Australia taking care of supervisor Louis de Sambucy stated: "We are delighted to have won the SIPS agreement and wish to give thanks to AEMO and the Victorian Government for putting their rely on us.
" We are looking forward to working once again with Tesla and AusNet to supply this world-leading battery storage space facility over the coming months. We are very honored to be releasing a project of this range and also innovation in support of Victoria's tidy energy change."
Lily D'Ambrosio, Minister for Energy, Environment as well as Climate Change, claimed: "By safeguarding one of the biggest batteries on the planet, Victoria is taking a decisive action away from coal-fired power and accepting new innovations that will certainly open much more renewable energy than ever."

Neoen Completes Financing for 300 MW Victorian Big Battery in Australia
Neoen has actually introduced that it has achieved economic close on the Victorian Big Battery, a 300 MW/ 450 MWh battery storage space center located near Geelong, in Victoria. The project will be supplied in partnership with Tesla as well as network companion AusNet Provider.
Had and operated by Neoen, the Victorian Big Battery will certainly be one of the largest batteries in the world, giving stability to Victoria's transmission network.
Xavier Barbaro, Neoen's Chairman as well as President said "we are thrilled to be developing our 2nd big battery in Australia. The Victorian Big Battery once again demonstrates the value of cutting-edge services that Neoen is proud to be introducing. At 300 MW, it will be among the largest batteries on the planet, taking our overall capability in operation or incomplete in Australia to over 1.8 GW, as well as bringing us one step more detailed to our worldwide target of 5 GW by the end of 2021."
Financing of the Victorian Big Battery was completed simply 3 months after Neoen secured a 250 MW grid services contract with AEMO. The project will be funded by a mix of equity given by Neoen and also AUD 160 million elderly debt facility supplied by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), in support of the Australian Government.
Building and construction has actually already started, supplying a well-timed financial boost for the Geelong region, with the project on track to be provided prior to the following Australian summer.
The System Integrity Protection Scheme (SIPS) contract will run until 2032, unlocking as much as 250 MW of additional peak capability on the existing Victoria to New South Wales Interconnector (VNI) over the next years of Australian summers. Under the agreement, the battery will give an automatic response in case of an unexpected network failure, providing AEMO with an added resource to ensure grid stability.
Energy storage is a priority innovation under the Australian Federal Government's Modern technology Investment Roadmap, as an enabler of economical and trusted low exhaust electrical energy. The Victorian Big Battery will certainly contribute to the dispatchable sources required to underpin the increasing share of renewable energy that will certainly make up Australia's future energy mix.
Ian Learmonth, Clean Energy Finance Corporation CEO claimed "the CEFC is excited to finance the Victorian Big Battery, a first-rate instance of just how utility-scale batteries can assist power networks sustain a greater infiltration of renewable energy. The battery will provide grid support services when it is under pressure, enabling authorities to increase the capacity of the VNI by up to 250 MW.
With even more power moving between the states, including during the peak summertime period, the battery will contribute to grid dependability and security. We are delighted to function together with Neoen and Tesla again, after aiding fund the growth of the Hornsdale Power Get in South Australia in 2020."

Neoen, Alight sign 90MW solar energy play with H&M
Neoen and also Swedish solar programmer Alight have signed a power acquisition agreement (PPA), covering 90MW of solar, with Swedish style store H&M Group.
Building is prepared for the second half of 2023, with commissioning to follow in 2025.
Under the long-lasting agreement, the solar park, located in Hultsfred, Sweden, will offer H&M Group with local renewable resource and warranties of origin.
The offer is the largest solar PPA got in Sweden to date, Neoen and Alight specified.
Collectively established and also possessed by Neoen (majority investor) and also Alight, the project will be built using photovoltaic or pv panels to be mounted around the runway of Hultsfred airport, in the south-east of Sweden.
H&M Group has set a goal to reduce the company's absolute range 1 as well as 2 emissions and its scope 3 emissions by 56% both by 2030 as well as from a 2019 standard as well as to increase the annual sourcing of renewable electrical power to 100% by 2030.

The 180MW is split between 11 projects ranging from 12MW to 22.8 MW and Neoen is the majority shareholder of each project.
The projects comprise 2 solar schemes, both located in the Grand Est region.
The Isle-sur Marne (19.3 MW, Marne) as well as Morhange 2 (22.8 MW, Moselle) plants rehabilitate specifically a former quarry and also disused army land.
Construction is arranged to start in 2023. Morhange 2 is an extension of Neoen's photovoltaic farm situated in the exact same district.
Nine wind farm projects with combined power of 137.8 MW are included in the capacity awarded.
They are located in Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Creuse, Vienne as well as Haute-Vienne), Normandie (Seine-Maritime as well as Eure), Grand Est (Ardennes), Bourgogne - Franche Comté (Yonne), and also Pays de la Loire (Sarthe).
Building of the farm in Vesly (Eure, 12MW) is ready to start, while the other 8 projects, with a consolidated power of 125.8 MW, have already obtained the needed building licenses however undergo management disputes.
Building can commence as soon as these treatments have run their course.
