The integrated battery energy storage system (BESS) will consist of approximately 425 units of 5MWh, four-hour battery storage systems to store excess electricity generation from the PV panels.Įach battery system will comprise approximately 126 individual batteries enclosed within a 12.2m-long, 2.9m-wide and 2.4m-tall container, which will be installed at each power conversion station (PCS) of the solar facility.
The space between the bottom of each panel and the ground will vary between 1ft and 8ft. The solar facility will comprise multiple solar array blocks comprising either traditional or bifacial PV modules mounted on horizontal, single-axis trackers.Įach array block will comprise 32 solar panel rows spaced 6m from each other. The Gemini solar project comprises 690MW of solar PV installations as well as a 380MW battery energy storage facility. Gemini solar and battery storage facility make-up
The Gemini solar PV and battery storage project is proposed to be developed on 7,100 acres of federally-owned land administered by the BLM in Clark County, Nevada, approximately 53km north-east of the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The project is expected to create up to 2,000 jobs during the peak construction phase. If approved, construction works on the £770m ($1bn) project are expected to start in the second half of 2020 with completion expected by the end of 2023. It is expected to issue a Record of Decision (ROD) for the project by March 2020. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of the US Department of the Interior (DOI) released the final environmental impact statement for the Gemini solar project in December 2019. Arevia Power, a US-based privately-held company will serve as the development manager for the project. The Gemini project is proposed to be developed and operated by Solar Partners XI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valley of Fire, which acquired it from BrightSource Energy in April 2017. It is expected to be the biggest solar power facility in the US, as well as one of the biggest renewable energy projects of its kind globally. Gemini solar project is a 690MW integrated solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage facility proposed to be built on US federal lands near Las Vegas, Nevada.
