EEW Partners with Grupo Cobra Australia and the project’s goal is to find new ways to make energy that is sustainable. Combining photovoltaic technology with energy storage systems, the partnership is a big step forward in green power solutions. The solar-plus-storage project will be ready to start building by the end of the year. Its goal is to increase the area’s clean energy supply.
In accordance with EEW’s announcement, the project is on schedule to be ready for construction in 2024. The CEO of EEW said that the company has had a lot of success in Australia and that this project is just one of many in the country that make up their multi-gigawatt pipeline.
EEW and Grupo COBRA’s Joint Solar and Storage Project
- Project collaboration: EEW Eco Energy World and Grupo COBRA
- Location: Queensland, Australia
- Components:
- Solar PV Farm: 200 MWDC
- Battery Storage: 50 MW
Highlights
When EEW Eco Energy World and Grupo COBRA work together, they will build a 200 MW DC solar farm and an extra 50 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in Queensland, Australia. This project looks like it will be a big step forward in the development of renewable energy, and it will have big benefits when it’s the finished product:
- Energy Production: Annual energy output is expected to surpass 400 GWh.
- Household Impact: Potential to supply clean power to roughly 72,500 homes each year.
- Emission Reduction: Anticipated to cut around 260,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually.
- Automotive Equivalent: The CO2 reduction equates to taking approximately 93,000 cars off the road permanently.
Grupo COBRA is known for its work on infrastructure and renewable energy projects. Their first project in Australia was a big one in New South Wales. Their partnership with EEW to invest in Queensland shows their growth and dedication to renewable energy in the area.
The company has also added large-scale solar projects and battery storage solutions to its list of services. Along with these efforts, EEW H2 was created to lead the growth of green hydrogen projects in Africa and Australia.
