The project had capital costs of over $2 billion and is one of the largest solar-plus-storage projects in the United States. The Eland solar project has a total nameplate capacity of 758 MW of solar paired with a 300 MW, 1,200 MWh battery energy storage system.
[pdf] The project represents Phase I of Uganda’s ambitious plan to deploy over 1 GW of solar and storage capacity nationwide. EA Astrovolt will manage all aspects including project development, regulatory compliance, stakeholder engagement, and long-term system performance monitoring.
[pdf] The wind park, initially launched in 2022 with an annual generation capacity of 155 GWh, has integrated a utility-scale energy storage system to enhance grid stability, for which Hoymiles has supplied essential components, including 3,450 kW Power Conversion System (PCS) containers on the AC side and 3.44 MWh battery containers on the DC side.
