Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), part of Abdul Latif Jameel Energy has started the development of its first Solar/Storage Hybrid Power Plant in the Dalby region of Queensland, Australia.
The Dalby Hybrid Power Plant is projected to generate 5 MWdc of power once completed and will combine a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facility with solar photovoltaic (PV) generation panels, making it one of the first of its kind in Australia. It is expected to be operating at full capacity by early 2022.
The Dalby project continues FRV’s global expansion in the utility-scale storage systems sector and the growth of its pipeline of energy storage capacity. Queensland’s electricity distribution network, Ergon, will enable the plant to supply and take electricity from the grid, and simultaneously trade in the National Electricity Market.
