Statkraft opens 274-MWp Bahia solar plants, prepares next commissioning phase
Norway’s state-owned Statkraft has cut the ribbon on two utility-scale solar plants in Brazil’s Bahia state with a combined 274 MWp and says a further unit is moving through final checks toward commissioning. The milestone pushes more daytime capacity into one of Brazil’s sunniest hubs and underlines Statkraft’s deepening presence in Latin America’s most dynamic renewables market. Engineering follows a lender-friendly template tailored to Northeast Brazil’s irradiance and heat. High-efficiency, often bifacial modules ride single-axis trackers to stretch production into shoulder hours. DC/AC ratios favor robust annual yield rather than headline peaks, while plant controllers deliver reactive power, ramp-rate compliance, and low/high-voltage ride-through per Brazilian grid codes. Unified SCADA with string-level telemetry supports predictive maintenance—thermal scans, IV-curve tracing, and targeted cleaning—adding basis points of availability that compound over decades. Commercially, Statkraft blends long-term offtake with calibrated merchant exposure to capture Brazil’s daytime spreads. Siting near strong substations helps reduce curtailment and interconnection risk; standardized cable routing, foundations, and pre-fabricated substation blocks compress construction schedules across multi-site portfolios. While the commissioned units are solar-only, layouts typically preserve pad space and transformer headroom for future two-to-four-hour batteries, creating options to shift energy into evening peaks and provide fast frequency response as market rules evolve. For Bahia communities, the projects mean jobs during build, ongoing technical roles post-COD, and steady municipal revenues. Environmental plans—traffic and dust controls, storm-water management sized for intense rain, low-glare module placement, and native landscaping—are baked into permits, alongside end-of-life recycling pathways for modules and balance-of-plant components. With the third plant approaching commissioning, focus turns to first-year stabilization: inverter set-point tuning, soiling baselines that inform cleaning cycles, and early performance testing against P50 expectations. Portfolio-level procurement of spares and a roaming service model should keep uptime high across the Bahia fleet. Bottom line: Statkraft is converting a Brazilian pipeline into electrons on the wire—standardized builds, disciplined interconnection, and near-term optionality for storage that future-proofs the portfolio as the grid’s flexibility needs grow.

Scatec Commissions 273-MW Grootfontein Solar in Western Cape
Norway’s Scatec has commissioned the 273‑MW Grootfontein solar park, its first project in South Africa’s Western Cape, now feeding power into the national grid. The plant arrives as the country faces shortages and load‑shedding, adding capacity to ease pressure and steady supply. Scatec said the milestone shows large solar moving ahead despite permitting and transmission constraints.The project deepens Scatec’s South African footprint built under the REIPPPP and supports goals to expand clean energy and cut coal reliance. Analysts expect solar‑plus‑storage to accelerate as demand grows. Scatec signaled further investment, leveraging experience in challenging markets and adding to utility‑scale pipeline. How will Scatec’s Grootfontein solar park ease load-shedding and catalyze solar-plus-storage? Adds firm daytime capacity into a stressed grid, shaving mid‑day load and reducing the need for higher-stage load‑shedding during business hours. Offsets diesel peaker use by supplying cheaper solar energy when demand ramps, lowering operating costs that often trigger load curtailment. Eases pressure on the Western Cape “load pocket,” trimming transmission losses from distant coal plants and stabilizing local voltage profiles. Frees scarce maintenance windows for Eskom by reducing net demand, enabling quicker return‑to‑service of conventional units that drive evening shortages. Delivers roughly 1.6 GWh of clean electricity per day at expected utility‑scale capacity factors—enough to cover the daily use of more than 100,000 typical households—creating immediate headroom against rolling cuts. Establishes a large, modern interconnection point and substation capacity that can host co‑located batteries, speeding future storage add‑ons without lengthy new grid applications. Provides a bankable reference for utility‑scale delivery in the Western Cape, improving lender confidence for hybrid solar‑plus‑storage deals under evolving procurement rounds. Increases the economic case for batteries by creating midday surplus energy that can be stored and dispatched into the steep evening peak, where prices and system value are highest. Aligns with maturing wheeling and time‑of‑use frameworks, enabling corporate offtakers and municipalities to contract solar‑plus‑storage for firm peak supply and resilience. Demonstrates a path through permitting and grid‑access bottlenecks, encouraging developers to propose DC‑coupled or AC‑coupled storage retrofits that use existing land, roads, and grid assets. Catalyzes local supply chains—EPCs, O&M, and balance‑of‑plant—lowering soft costs for batteries and accelerating hybrid project timelines. Helps normalize curtailment‑plus‑compensation regimes, which storage can monetize by capturing otherwise spilled solar and reselling at peak. Supports system operability with potential future ancillary services from co‑located batteries (fast frequency response, ramping, reserves), reducing blackout risk during contingencies. Signals continued pipeline and reinvestment, drawing additional capital into hybrid solutions as policy moves ahead on dedicated storage procurements.
