Hydroelectric energy storage French Guiana
The CEOG hydrogen-based energy storage projectis being developed near Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni in north-western French Guiana. French Guiana is situated in northern South America, close to the equat. . The CEOG power project is backed by a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) signed with the French utility EDF. It will be connected to French Guiana’s electricity grid through EDF. . The CEOG power project will combine a 55MW PV solar farm and a 16MW high-pressure alkaline electrolyser to break water into hydrogen and oxygen using photovoltaic elect. . The CEOG project is based on the Renewstable®power plant technology designed and developed by HDF to provide continuous or on-demand clean electricity from intermittent. . The CEOG power project is being financed through long-term senior debt, equity bridge loan, tax credit bridge loan, and debt service credit facility from a group of development ban. [pdf]
