On December 15, Total Energy said it would work with partners to build a "solar + energy storage" project in South Africa. The integrated renewable energy project includes a 216 MW solar power plant and a 500 MWh battery energy storage system to manage the intermittency of solar production, which is expected to be operational in 2025. Located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa,
the project is planned to provide renewable electricity to the South African National Grid within 20 years. According to the power purchase agreement signed in November, when the project is completed, it will continuously supply 75 megawatts of electricity to Eskom, South Africa's national utility company, from 5:00 to 21:30 every day (longer than sunshine hours).
Total Energy and its partners Hydra & nbsp; Storage & nbsp; Holding and Reatile & nbsp; Renewables completed the financial closing of the project on 14 December. Vincent & nbsp Stoquart, Senior Vice President of Renewable Energy at Total Energy, said: We are delighted to launch this large-scale 'solar + storage' project in South Africa with our partners. Due to the innovative integrated design, the project will provide continuous green power for a longer period of time. This project will not only contribute to South Africa's energy transformation, but also enhance the resilience of its power system.
Data show that Total Energy is committed to becoming an energy company focusing on liquefied natural gas, electricity and superior oil resources, and the production and investment of renewable energy is part of its long-term strategy. In early December, Total Energy signed an investment agreement for the Mirny project in Kazakhstan at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), which will be the largest wind energy project ever in Kazakhstan. The Mirny project will build a 1 GW onshore wind farm consisting of 160 turbines and equipped with a 600 MWh battery energy storage system to achieve reliable power supply.
