After a long wait, RES obtained a license to develop a 200MW/10MW large-scale solar and energy storage project in New South Wales.

The New South Wales State Government approved the Avonlie Solar Power Project on August 8th, citing the positive economic impact of the project, including 200 local jobs and 250 million Australian dollars ($170 million) of capital investment. This approval process can be traced back to the end of 2017 when the RES submitted the initial environmental assessment report.

The British developer called the proposed 10MW/10MWh Avonlie solar project "one of the largest battery projects in the world." The power station consists of 670,000 solar panel modules, covers an area of 802 hectares and has the convenience of being close to two power lines. condition.

RES will provide A$250,000 ($170,000) in funding for local projects, community groups and organizations.

The company expects that the completion of the power station will take 18 months and the operation time will be 30 years. Spanish engineering company Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy signed an early engineering contract for the power station.

Other assets of RES in New South Wales include the 100MW Tarleigh Park and Curra Warra power stations. After the completion of the second phase of construction, the total installed capacity of the power station will reach 429MW.

New South Wales is home to some of Australia's largest solar projects. According to statistics compiled by the Climate Change Independent Climate Agency's Climate Council, NSW's wind and solar installed capacity ranks second in the Australian states, reaching 1.76 GW, second only to Western Australia, South Australia. The state's installed capacity is 1.83GW.

Earlier this week, New South Wales' mining manufacturer Molycop signed a 10-year solar-wind power purchase agreement to purchase electricity from a 120MW Bomen solar power plant for regional operations.

The national policy is a problem that everyone who buys the group price needs to pay attention to. The on gird solar system that can be connected to the power grid is more economical; there is no more suitable for the off-grid system than the off-grid system.
