French renewable energy developer Neoen recently said that it has begun a 200MW/400MWH battery energy storage project in Australia, which has made the company's large -scale energy storage projects deployed in Australia.
NEOEN has notified the battery energy integrated integrator NHOA and construction engineering owner ELECNOR, asking the two companies to start deploying the Blyth battery energy storage system in South Australia.
Neoen's 100MW/200MWH Capital Battery Battery Battery Energy Project was completed in October last year in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). At the end of 2022, it deployed 200MW/400MWH WEST DOWNS battery energy storage system in Queensland.
These three large battery energy storage systems will become the company's new battery energy storage assets in the Australian national power market (NEM), and the company has two power grid -scale battery energy storage systems that have been deployed and operated -150MW/193.5 The Hognesdale battery energy storage system and 300MW/450MWH Victorian Big Battery storage system, Victorian Big Battery storage system is also the largest battery energy storage system operated by Australia to date.
The Capital Battery battery energy storage system will be opened in the first half of this year, and the two battery energy storage systems of Blyth and West DOWNS are planned to open operations from the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025.
NHOA, a battery storage integrator headquarters in Italy, said that the BlyTH battery energy storage system is one of the several energy storage projects that have recently signed an agreement.
Essence NHOA is designated by Neoen as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors as well as operations and maintenance (O & M) providers.
NEOEN has been in cooperation with Tesla, Tesla has become a supplier of the Honensdal battery energy storage system and Victorian Big Battery battery energy storage system, but NEOEN has not announced which company will be the Blyth battery storage Can systematically provide equipment. At the same time, ELECNOR will also designate equipment suppliers for these energy storage projects.
The main purpose of deploying the BlyTH battery energy storage system is to transport the electricity generated by NEOEN's new wind electric field to Australia and resource developers Bitithane, a new wind power field about 60 kilometers away. NEOEN and Pizza Tuo signed a 70MW basic load power purchase agreement (PPA), which will help provide electricity for Bit and Pizza's Olympic DAM mine. These mines contain copper, gold and uranium and other minerals.
The BlyTH battery energy storage system is also one of the large battery energy storage projects supported by Australian Renewal Energy (ARENA) funding. The agency is providing funds for some battery energy storage systems in Australia to transform and configure advanced inverters. Make it an important balance inertia for the power grid.
Goyder Wind Power Field is part of the hybrid deployment of renewable energy facilities developed by NEOEN. Its name is the GOYDER SOUTH renewable energy zone. In the end system. Neoen said recently that the first phase of the 209MW project of the wind power field has completed financial settlement.
In early 2021, the GOYDER SOUUUUU and Renewable Energy Zone received planning approval. Neoen signed a grid -connected agreement with Electranet Electranet in November last year.
In a arrangement, some power in the GOYDER SOUTH Renewal Energy Zone will be transported to the Australian capital, and the later construction of this renewable energy zone will depend on whether there is a new interconnected power between South Australia and New South Wales. line.
Considering the billions of dollars in transmission network upgrade plans for the Australian government to increase the utilization rate of renewable energy nationwide, this is likely to occur.
