What is the Aurora Energy Project?

The Aurora Energy Project (Aurora) is about developing a hybrid renewable energy power plant near Port Augusta in South Australia’s Upper Spencer Gulf. A 50-50 joint venture between 1414 Degrees and Vast, this project brings together two leading Australian energy innovators.

Where is the Aurora power plant located?

The Aurora power plant is to be located on a vast pastoral area adjacent to the Stuart highway, approximately 30km north of the town of Port Augusta. Proximity to the highway makes it highly accessible during construction and operation.

What is the vast solar Port Augusta concentrated solar thermal power project?

The Vast Solar Port Augusta Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Project involves the development, construction and operation of a 30 MW / 288 MWh Concentrated Solar Thermal Power (CSP) plant at Port Augusta, South Australia.

How will Aurora's solar power plant work?

The heliostats will be arranged around the tower to increase the solar harvest. Aurora will also be equipped with a dry cooling system, which will reduce the water usage and save one million litres of water annually. The new plant will use concentrating solar power technology (CSP) to produce electricity.

Why do we need Aurora Energy Storage?

The SA Government’s peak loads are typically during off peak periods for the market, thus allowing it to benefit from lower spot prices, however Aurora’s energy storage will allow it to generate during peak market periods and help bring peak prices down with more competition and supply.
