Spanish renewables developer Zelestra has signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with gas provider Abastible for a solar-plus-storage plant in Chile.
Malaysian clean energy solutions company Gentari Renewables is set to proceed with the development of the 243MWp Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project in New South Wales, Australia.
Construction has started on a 400MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) that will be co-located with Acen Australia's 720MW New England solar PV power plant in New South Wales, Australia.
Even if added later, storage should not be overlooked in the design and building phase when co-locating with solar PV, write Grant Reasor, Joshua Tucker and Dan Rollins Burns & McDonnell.
Located in the solar hotbed region of Atacama in northern Chile, the Domeyko project will have an 83MW solar PV capacity and 660MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity.
