SA – A Battery Powered Future?<\/p><\/div>\n

A new report states 2025 could see renewables and batteries in a position to overtake gas in South Australia’s energy mix for managing peak loads.<\/p>\n

With no coal-fired power generation remaining in the state, South Australia’s peak loads are currently managed by open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT) plants.<\/p>\n

A joint research report by Wood Mackenzie and GTM Research says by 2025, wind energy, solar power and battery costs will fall by 15%, 25% and 50% respectively.<\/p>\n

“.. by 2025, battery storage would be cheaper than OCGTs in managing peak loads even at gas price of A$7\/mmbtu. OCGTs would then be relegated as emergency back-ups,” said<\/a> Wood Mackenzie analyst Bikal Pokharel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wood Mackenzie estimates that 400MW\/ 1,600 MWh of battery storage will be sufficient to handle the highest peaking residual demand in South Australia in 2025.<\/p>\n

Just over two-thirds of South Australia’s power-generating capacity would be renewables-based by 2025 if all committed and planned projects come to fruition. In such a scenario, gas demand would plummet by 70%.<\/p>\n

The report says that by 2035, renewables and batteries will provide a commercial solution for both base loads and peak loads.<\/p>\n

Mr. Pokharel warned flexible gas contracts, on an hourly, monthly and annual basis, would be required to ensure ongoing sustainability of gas-fired power plants; otherwise SA may need to examine other fuels for back-up power generation.<\/p>\n

He stated South Australia could become a leading case study for others to follow on managing a power system in transition.<\/p>\n

In March this year, the South Australian Government announced its $550 million Energy Plan designed to stabilise the state’s electricity system, which included plans for a state-owned gas-fired power generator and a battery storage and renewable technology fund. The State Government also plans to install power generators in up to four Adelaide locations as an interim measure.<\/p>\n

South Australia’s foray into big batteries has already begun, with a\u00a0 100MW\/129MWh Tesla Powerpack 2<\/a> based battery system expected to be in place before summer. The system will provide stability services for renewables and emergency back-up power if needed.<\/p>\n

In related news, South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill has let fly<\/a> at “right wing” attackers of South Australia’s renewable energy aspirations, using some rather choice words to describe them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
