From Energy to Revenue: Optimizing the World’s Largest Solar + Storage Project, Sponsored by DNV GL
Together with Primergy Solar, DNV GL will review the Gemini Solar Plus Storage project as a case study for optimizing revenue on the world’s largest solar plus storage project. Specifically, developers will learn about how to work with multiple new variables related to combined technology and uniqueness due to size. Utilities will gain a stronger understanding of the significant upsides to adding storage and the various benefits; and lenders will hear from one of the industry’s foremost independent engineers have to say, particularly on dc-coupled projects, about ways to de-risk and engineer a project.
DNV GL and Primergy kick off the discussion by setting the context around optimizing revenue, not just energy – a departure from how energy storage and standalone PV projects have been modeled in the past. They also discuss where solar plus storage projects are most valuable and the upside in regions of high solar penetration. They also cover how energy shifting PPAs and capacity contracts are becoming more relevant. Most critically, they combine this context into a deep dive on the optimization process across multiple variables using a solar plus storage revenue model. View this recording to learn what makes the Gemini project unique, and what lessons learned can be carried forward into other large-scale solar plus storage projects.
