Unveiling Chile's largest solar farm, EDF's CEME1 project is a shining example of sustainable energy innovation in the Atacama Desert.

EDF Renewables North America has actually revealed that it has actually completed the signing of a 22-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with NV Energy for a 200 megawatt (MWac) solar PV project paired with a 180 MW, four-hour battery storage space system. The Chuckwalla Solar + Storage project anticipates to come online by the end of 2023 and also deliver sufficient tidy power yearly to power 45,000 ordinary Nevada residences. The project is located on the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians Reservation, 35 miles northeast of Las Vegas in Clark County, Nevada. The project will certainly benefit the Moapa Tribe as well as local neighborhood over its operating life through land lease, tax and also other settlements and also roughly 300 temporary construction-related tasks. By combining the solar facility with an energy storage space service, power produced during peak solar hours can be dispatched later in the day, thus creating an equilibrium between electrical energy generation and demand. Power storage can additionally smooth electrical power rates, handle evening power ramps, minimize curtailment and also give grid security. " EDF Renewables is pleased to reinforce our connection with NV Energy, building on our 2019 arrangement to develop and also develop the Arrow Canyon Solar+ Storage project," said Ian Black, Vice President, West Region Development at EDF Renewables North America. "The battery and solar system collaborate to give more energy during the summer season night optimal hrs, when system requirements are the best. NV Energy can make use of the battery at their discernment in all months of the year enabling mitigation of need spikes." Just recently, we had reported that the prospective buyer consortium, developed by French EDF Group subsidiary, EDF Renewables and Chinese Jinko Power had been awarded the Al Dhafra solar project in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. With a capability of 2 GW, it will be the globe's largest single-project solar plant and will produce the comparable electrical power to power over 160,000 neighborhood families yearly. A require tenders was launched in June 2019 by Emirates Water as well as Electricity Company (EWEC), a leading business in the coordination of planning, purchasing and supplying of water and also electrical energy throughout the UAE. EDF Renewables-- Jinko Power submitted a record-breaking quote of 1.35 USD cent per kilowatt-hour on a Levelised Electricity Cost basis.

EDF Renewables and CIP-owned Mulilo Energy have been awarded preferred bidder status for 257MW of grid storage capacity in South Africa, out of five projects awarded in the country's first BESS competition. The consortium will deliver three battery energy storage projects at an estimated total cost of more than ZAR7bn (€343m). When completed, the projects will dispatch electricity under 15-year power purchase agreements. Robert Helms, a partner at CIP, commended the South African government’s commitment to the rapid buildout of battery energy storage. Mulilo’s chairman of the board, Jan Oberholzer, said the achievement was an important and significant milestone for Mulilo, and that the team was outperforming their business plans. The consortium is committed to playing an important role in ensuring sustainable electricity supply for the betterment of the lives of the 61 million people in South Africa. What Role Will EDF Renewables and CIP Play in South Africa's BESS Competition? EDF Renewables and CIP will be responsible for the design, financing, construction, commissioning, and long-term maintenance of the three battery energy storage projects. The consortium will deliver a total of 257MW of grid storage capacity, with each battery energy storage project ranging from 80 to 105MW. The projects will utilize a combination of short-duration lithium-ion batteries and solar energy to deliver electricity under 15-year power purchase agreements. The projects will help improve the security of South Africa’s energy supply, reduce power outages, and increase the country’s ability to exploit renewable energy sources. The consortium is also committed to creating investment and job opportunities in the local economy, providing skills training to local communities, and implementing environmental best practices. The consortium is also working with the South African government to ensure that the projects are built to support the national energy transition and bring South Africa closer to its renewable energy targets.

EDF Renewables is to purchase the installer, which has around 30MWp of rooftop solar in operation, and become its tactical companion. SkyX means to establish an additional 200MWp of rooftop solar and also distributed power jobs for C&I consumers in Vietnam over the next three years, improving the recent success of Vietnam's rooftop PV market. Last year Vietnam experienced a boom in rooftop solar installs that coincided with a connection deadline for subsidies in the country. Greater than 9GW of rooftop solar was set up in Vietnam in 2020, around 6GW of which was mounted in December alone. The rush prompted worries over the stability of the grid during height solar generation hrs, with curtailment orders becoming a lot more frequent. Vietnam's authorities have actually given that delayed on enacting a replacement feed-in tariff system consequently. PV Tech Premium wrote thoroughly on the subject at the time. Nonetheless, investment appetite for solar and various other renewables in the region remains high, and also earlier this year research study firm WoodMackenzie forecasted that solar as well as wind financial investments in the Asia Pacific area are to double this years. Don Lam, co-founder at VinaCapital, said the investment manager recognised the important role clean energy would certainly play in Vietnam numerous years ago, prompting the launch of SkyX Solar in 2019. Samresh Kumar, chief executive officer as well as founder at SkyX Solar, added that it was now the company's objective to companion with more C&I business in Vietnam to enhance its build-out plans. "EDF Renewables, a subsidiary of EDF, is just one of the world's leading renewable energy firms, so I could not be more pleased that they have actually selected to partner with and invest in SkyX. Their competence as well as sources will enable us to further broaden as well as bring our world class remedies to much more customers in Vietnam," Kumar stated. "The potential for renewables in Vietnam is enormous, and also we are eager to increase our footprint in the nation drawing on our international knowledge in roof solar options," Yalim Ozilhan, Southeast Asia supervisor at EDF Renewables, claimed.

EDF Renewables and also Network Rail have authorized a power purchase agreement (PPA) covering output from the 50MW Bloy's Grove solar farm in Norfolk, which got planning authorization in June this year. The agreement will certainly cover around 15% of Network Rail's yearly consumption of non-traction power being made use of in workplaces, depots and railway stations throughout the country. This improves the existing traction supply partnership in between Network Rail and also the bigger EDF Group in the UK. The PPA remains in line with Network Rail's commitment to sourcing 100% of non-traction energy from renewable sources by 2030 as part of its ecological sustainability approach. Jo Lewington, Network Rail's primary environment and sustainability officer, said: "Rail is currently in a solid position in terms of its green qualifications, but it's vital that we do whatever we can as a company to boost air quality, minimise our use fossil fuels, as well as transition to an industry powered by green, renewable, low-carbon energy. " Our vision is to offer the country with the cleanest, greenest form of public transport as well as this agreement marks an additional crucial action towards attaining our objectives." Rail Minister Wendy Morton said: "Our railway has long been the foundation of traveling throughout the UK and, as one of the greenest forms of transport, it is set to play a central role in reducing emissions as well as aiding us accomplish our world-leading decarbonisation goals. " This very first of its kind agreement is a huge moment not just for Network Rail yet the rail market overall, instating a journey which will see Britain's preferred transport come to be even greener, cleaner as well as much more sustainable." Natural Power supplied technical assistance to Network Rail throughout the vendor identification as well as negotiation process for the business power purchase agreement for 49.9 MW of solar power from EDF Renewables UK.
