Emerging economies require more power, every hour, not just when the sun shines or the wind blows, but all the time — reliably, economically, and cleanly. But the world will no longer finance fossil fuel baseload power plants. What to do?
OUR SOLUTION
Economic Development Zones Using 247Solar Plants™
The old paradigm of large central power plants is obsolete. The new paradigm is distributed power – PV, wind, and batteries located closer to the customer. But rarely can these resources provide baseload power. Enter 247Solar Plants. This new, modular, game-changing solution operates every hour of the year to provide the super-reliable baseload power essential for economic growth. If located near the point of use, they provide the additional benefit of 24/7 industrial-grade heat. Governments can then create Economic Development Zones to attract new industries and create jobs. Additional benefits include:
PATHWAY EXAMPLE
A mineral sands mining operation (high-grade silica for use in PV cells) in Queensland, Australia, transitions from 100% diesel to 24/7 carbon-free power as each genset reaches end of life.
- Requirement: Initial 1.1MW renewable power growing to 4.0MW within 3 years
- Implementation:
- Phase 1 pilot: 1 x 247Solar Plant (400kW)
- 1 x STAG-Tech Modular Wind Turbine (200kW)
- 1 x 247Solar HeatStorE battery (200kW/1.8MWh)
- PV: 0.5MW
- Phase 2 PPA: Pilot plus up to additional 10MW of clean power as gensets reach end of life
OUTCOME
- Gensets phased out
- Reduced carbon footprint of 90%; reaches 100% if/when green hydrogen is used for the remaining 10%
- Reduced cost of power up to 90%
- Reduced operating costs for power equipment up to 5
