6 FAQs about [Bloemfontein solar energy storage transformation]
Where is Sonneblom photovoltaic solar energy facility located?
The Sonneblom Photovoltaic Solar Energy Facility (SPP) project area on Portion 1 of the farm Blydschap No. 504 is situated in flat-lying to gently undulating agricultural lands between 1380 and 1400 m amsl on the south-eastern outskirts of Bloemfontein, just east of the R702 tar road.
What is the future of energy storage?
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
Is solar photovoltaics ready to power a sustainable future?
A low energy demand scenario for meeting the 1.5 °C target and sustainable development goals without negative emission technologies. Nat. Energy 3, 515–527 (2018). Victoria, M. et al. Solar photovoltaics is ready to power a sustainable future. Joule vol. 5 1041–1056 (Cell Press, 2021). Nemet, G.
Does Sonneblom photovoltaic SPP need environmental authorization?
Environmental Authorisation (EA) for the Sonneblom Photovoltaic SPP was granted on 19 June 2015 (DEA Ref. No. 14/12/16/3/3/2/673). Sonneblom SPP is now applying for the amendment of the EA to correct the coordinates of corner points of study area, include a battery storage system (BESS), associated amendments and the access road.
How much would a residential solar+storage project cost?
This would place residential solar+storage at an estimated US$0.11–0.12 kWh −1 target. Based on a ten-year project lifetime, and in the optimal case assuming a full charge–discharge cycle on a daily basis ignoring losses, LCOE at current prices is US$0.15 kWh −1 at residential scale and US$0.10 kWh −1 at utility scale.
Can solar and battery storage compete directly with fossil-based electricity options?
We find and chart a viable path to dispatchable US$1 W−1 solar with US$100 kWh−1 battery storage that enables combinations of solar, wind, and storage to compete directly with fossil-based electricity options. Electricity storage will benefit from both R&D and deployment policy.
