Subsequent yr clear and photo voltaic power producers will assist cowl as much as a 3rd of the whole power consumption within the distribution community, predicts the distribution system operator in electrical energy Sadales tīkls JSC (ST) board chairman Sandis Jansons.
He defined that previously the excessive voltage community obtained electrical energy primarily from hydroelectric energy vegetation and thermal energy vegetation. After that electrical energy is transmitted to the distribution community after which it’s distributed to the top customers. The state of affairs modifications, as a result of electrical energy goes in each instructions.
“Sooner or later we may even see conditions the place we not want to attract power from the excessive voltage community,” Jansons stated. He stated that at the moment there are greater than 11 500 properties linked to the distribution community that may generate 90 MW of electrical energy on sunny days and greater than 100 MW through the summer season. As well as, there are authorized entities linked to the distribution community that may produce 18 MW. Permits have been issued this yr for the set up of latest photo voltaic panels. This can assist enhance the ability output by almost 100 MW subsequent summer season.
Jansons stated there are small and huge photo voltaic parks that need to hook up with the distribution community and promote electrical energy. The initiatives are prepared, and the connections of virtually 90 MW have been paid. He stated he’s assured that to start with or center of subsequent yr, the ability output from the photo voltaic parks could attain near 100 MW.
“If we put these numbers collectively, we are going to see an electrical energy output of round 300 MW of photo voltaic power on sunny days in the course of 2023. If we take a look at consumption, on sizzling days it would attain 800 -900 MW. On this method it’s doable that photo voltaic power turbines will have the ability to cowl a 3rd of the quantity of consumption. We’re assured that this pattern will develop. We should even be prepared,” stated Jansons.
Sadales tīkls was awarded funding value EUR 40 million from the European Restoration and Resilience Facility to strengthen the community.
“Sooner or later we hope to use for funding from RePowerEU to make sure that the community is ready to settle for the technology capability misplaced in power. It’s clear that the general stability of power transmission will solely enhance, as a result of all that inexperienced power will ultimately cross by the electrical energy provide system. We should be prepared to make sure that all residents and authorized individuals of Pieriga are in a position to set up photo voltaic panels and cost de- electrical automobile,” stated Jansons.
