Vena Power says it has commissioned the biggest PV challenge in Taiwan. It says its 272 MW E2 Photo voltaic Venture accounts for 4% of the island’s annual photo voltaic output.
Singapore-based renewables developer Vena Power, the corporate behind South Australia’s first large-scale photo voltaic farm and the primary large-scale battery to be constructed within the Australian state of Queensland, has commissioned its largest PV challenge in Taiwan.
The E2 Photo voltaic Venture, constructed on 226 hectares of reclaimed coastal land in Taixi in southern Taiwan, is being in-built two phases, with the primary 134 MW part of the challenge commissioned in March 2022. Your complete challenge has roughly 680,000 photo voltaic panels with an put in capability of 272 MW, in a position to generate about 400 GWh of fresh power per 12 months which Vena says is as much as 4% of the whole output of photo voltaic power in Taiwan, establishing it as a serious contributor to the nation’s transition to inexperienced power.
Vena Power Chief Government Officer Nitin Apte stated the E2 Photo voltaic Venture is the corporate’s largest working challenge thus far and kinds an integral a part of its plans to speed up the power transition throughout the Asia-Pacific.
“The entire 35 GW of photo voltaic, onshore wind, offshore wind, battery storage and hybrid renewable power initiatives working or in improvement throughout the Asia-Pacific area are key to reaching the net-zero carbon emissions goal in 2050,” he stated. “Since 2015, we now have efficiently commissioned and operated seven photo voltaic photovoltaic initiatives with a complete of 412 MW, and we’re happy to see Taiwan proceed to maneuver in direction of the transformation of the power sector .”
Vena has additionally turned its consideration to the Australian power market with the corporate indicating that it has some 6 GW of renewable power initiatives deliberate right here.
The corporate, owned by the US-based funding fund International Infrastructure Companions (GIP), already operates the 97 MW Tailem Bend Photo voltaic Farm in South Australia, and is presently constructing the 85 MW second stage, with a 41.5 MW one hour power storage battery system constructed on web site.
It just lately accomplished the 100 MW/150 MWh Wandoan South battery in Queensland and seems to be simply the primary part of the bigger Wandoan South Venture, which can ultimately contribute 650 MW of photo voltaic and 450 MW of power storage capability.
