Capable of powering 500 homes, the Mildura 1.5MW power station has 40 fully commissioned ‘dense array’ CPV dishes, supplying renewable energy to the national electricity grid in a 2012 power purchase agreement with Diamond Energy.

“This could be a game-changing renewable energy technology” said Silex CEO, Michael Goldsworthy on the commercial use of ‘dense array’ CPV dishes.

The park was funded with A$10 million from the Victorian State Government and Federal Government, previously A$120 in government funding was predicted for the project.

The grand opening for the park will be held on the 17 July, and attended by Victorian energy and resources minister, Nicholas Kotsiras.

Plans are also under way for a 100MW park in Mildura, subject to funding, with construction starting in 2014.

Energy Storage Summit USA

23 March 2022

When it comes to storage, the US market exceeded a gigawatt of advanced energy storage installations (weighted towards lithium ion) at 1.46 GW, more than the previous six years in total! An exponential growth rate could see the market hit 7.5 GW p.a. by 2025. The summit will provide a wealth of content around this vital piece in the US power puzzle, with sessions dedicated to explore how companies are making money from batteries, the latest chemistries and their applications as they apply to different use-cases. We ask how investors can match ESG criteria to batteries and we will bring case studies of successful deployment and project execution onto the stage to examine how you can ensure your own projects are successful.
