CQ Energy undertook a detailed economic feasibility study for the South Australian Produce Markets (SAPM) to assess the viability of establishing a microgrid battery and solar solution for its Pooraka site. The microgrid solution comprises an innovative hybrid energy solution incorporating a 2.5MW solar PV system, 4MWh battery and 2.5MW diesel backup generator. CQ Energy assisted the SAPM with its grant application through the South Australian Government’s Energy Productivity Program of which the SAPM was successful in being awarded $2.5M funding to implement the project.
