Clean Energy Pipeline’s Post

Q ENERGY has closed the sale of a 73.2 MW portfolio of renewable energy projects in France to Italian company ERG. “We are thrilled to announce the sale of our 73.2 MW portfolio of renewable energy projects to ERG,” stated Joshua Lim, Deputy Managing Director of Q ENERGY France. “This collaboration underscores our shared dedication to driving impactful change in the renewable energy landscape. It also represents a pivotal moment for both organisations, as we collectively accelerate progress towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.” Q Energy’s new portfolio comprises two operational solar PV farms, one in the Gironde area of France and the other in the Pyrénées Orientales, with a combined installed capacity of 20.4 MWp. The portfolio also includes a a 24 MW wind farm in the final phase of commissioning, following a recent repowering in the Aude region. Once fully operational, the portfolio will generate approximately 125 GWh of clean electricity per annum. Q-ENERGY added that the two PV plants in operation and the wind farm, benefit from a tariff regime supported by a 20-year CfD, while the production of the solar project in the Pays de la Loire region, which will enter operation in the second quarter of 2024, is linked to a 15-year PPA signed with a leading French retail company. #cleanenergy

CJR Renewables has been awarded the role of principal contractor for the BESS Tocopilla project, a cutting-edge 136.5 MW / 682.5 MWh Battery Energy Storage System, located within ENGIE‘s Tocopilla Thermal Complex in Chile. This landmark initiative aims to enhance renewable energy storage and utilization in the Antofagasta Region, reinforcing Chile‘s transition to a more sustainable energy landscape. The project will involve comprehensive electrical and assembly works, including the installation of 240 Sungrow Batteries, 30 Transformer Centers, and various high and low voltage infrastructure. CJR Renewables will also oversee the crucial phases of commissioning and the integration of high-voltage equipment into the substation, ensuring the system‘s optimal performance and reliability. By leveraging state-of-the-art technology and expertise, the BESS Tocopilla will play a pivotal role in stabilizing the local grid and providing a reliable energy storage solution, marking a significant step forward in Chile‘s renewable energy journey. #CJRRenewables #BuildingPositiveEnergy #ProudlyCJRRenewables

The US added 11 GW of new utility-scale clean power capacity in Q2 2024, marking a 91% increase compared previous year’s corresponding period, bringing the total installed capacity for the first half of the year to 19 GW — more than double the five-year average. The findings were highlighted as American Clean Power Association (ACP) released its Clean Power Quarterly Market Report for Q2 2024. The strong quarter brought total installations for the year up to 19 GW, more than doubling the five-year average for the first half of 2024. With the second half of the year typically stronger for clean energy additions, the US renewables industry is on track for a second consecutive record-breaking year in 2024. “Clean energy is answering the call to unleash more American energy, with another record quarter of deployment,” said Jason Grumet, CEO of ACP. “While all clean energy technologies are expanding their market share, energy storage is scaling at a stunning speed and has surpassed 20 GW of operating capacity. With rapidly growing demand and the need to make significant strides in decarbonising our economy, the stakes are high. “Our recent progress is encouraging, but we are not moving fast enough. ACP is committed to working with all stakeholders and policymakers to accelerate progress toward a secure, reliable, and clean energy future.” #cleanenergy

PSO was featured in an article by The Conversation Australia + NZ, highlighting the critical need for workforce growth to meet Australia’s 2030 renewable energy target. With more than 80% of new roles expected to be in renewables, including energy storage jobs overtaking domestic coal and gas, it’s clear that a rapid expansion in skills and training is essential. At PSO, we’re working closely with industry and government to address skill shortages and create stronger training pathways.
