6 FAQs about [Aurora solar thermal power project]

What is Aurora solar energy project?

Aurora Solar Energy Project is now envisioned as a multi-stage renewable energy park which will start with a 70MW solar PV farm and battery energy storage. The second phase will add 1414’s large-scale, long-duration Thermal Energy Storage System (TESS) which is intended to provide over 1GWh of grid-scale storage.

Who owns the Aurora Energy Project (Aurora)?

Vast Solar is pleased to announce it will be co-developing the Aurora Energy Project (Aurora) through its acquisition of 50% of the shares in Silicon Aurora Pty Ltd (Silicon Aurora) from 1414 Degrees (14D) for $2.5 million.

What happened to SolarReserve in Aurora?

Aurora was supposed to be the location of Australia’s first large scale solar thermal and storage project until US project developer SolarReserve failed to get finance and ultimately went broke.

How will Aurora's solar power plant work?

The heliostats will be arranged around the tower to increase the solar harvest. Aurora will also be equipped with a dry cooling system, which will reduce the water usage and save one million litres of water annually. The new plant will use concentrating solar power technology (CSP) to produce electricity.

Will Australia's first large scale solar thermal project be built?

The receiver is one of the final components in what will be Australia’s first large scale solar thermal project to be built and tested as an operational power station. Vast Energy has designed a receiver that is 50m high, rather than the giant 100-200m towers required by other projects overseas.

Will a 50MW solar thermal project be based on a modular tower?

Vast Solar, which is also developing a 50MW hybrid solar thermal project at Mount Isa in Queensland, said the South Australian project will feature the same modular tower CSP technology that the company has deployed at Jemalong in New South Wales (NSW).
