Battery energy storage system installed. The project will finance the installation of a 5MW/2.5MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and a master controller system to allow management of intermittency of output from solar generation, storage for load 5.

This has allowed the wind energy penetration to be as high as 70% without any energy storage system, particularly at night and at weekends when the load is very steady. "ComAp''s Hybrid control system allows the island of Vanuatu to combine wind turbines with diesel/coconut oil powered generators, allowing significant cost savings.

With a planned construction period of about 150 days, the solar-power storage-charging integration project will include storage power generation facilities that will cover an area of 300 square meters and feature 42,000 sq m of photovoltaic panels, equaling the size of six football pitches and having a total installed capacity of 6.5
