What is the Country’s renewable energy target in the coming years?
The Country’s Integrated Resource Plan
indicates that the target is to have an additional 3.2 GW
of Wind and 2 GW Solar PV.
As Enel Green Power however,
we intend to double our current capacity to 2.4 GW
by the year 2025.
In terms of future projects, are you focusing on specific parts of the country,
and which specific technologies?
Well, we’re concentrating our efforts on areas
that have an abundance of resources
and where the interconnection capabilities are.
Certain areas, for example coastal regions,
are more windy than others so it makes sense
to have a wind farm there.
How many PPA’s are you looking to sign in the next two years?
We have a pipeline of 12-14 projects at the moment
which looks promising.
So that’s what we’re working towards,
successfully closing all of those PPA’s.
Are there any BESS projects that have been implemented?
How many are in pipeline in the near future?
Currently, we don’t have any battery storage projects,
but is this within our capabilities?
Yes, for sure.
However, the decision would be based on the customers requirement
to have batteries in the network,
where the energy source is available on-demand.
We’ve proposed projects that have a BESS component before,
and we look forward to having these projects in the future.
