Vast executes engineering contracts for 30MW/288 MWh CSP plant in Australia
Vast Renewables Limited announced that it has executed key engineering contracts with Afry, FYFE, Primero and Worley to complete Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) on its 30 MW/288 MWh VS1 CSP plant to be located in Port Augusta, South Australia.
Utilising Vast’s proprietary modular tower CSP v3.0 technology, VS1 will generate clean, low-cost, dispatchable power with over 8 hours of thermal energy storage. The project is anticipated to create dozens of green manufacturing jobs, hundreds of jobs during construction and long-term plant operations roles.
Vast had been appointed in May 2023 to complete VS1 basic engineering. FEED is expected to be completed by August ahead of a Final Investment Decision in Q3 2024 and construction starting in late 2024.
