Drumheller Solar and Battery Storage Project
6112-8075
Presently, most of the grid electricity in Alberta has a high overall emissions intensity because it is generated by combusting fossil fuels (e.g., coal, natural gas). In comparison, electricity generated from solar energy is renewable and considered clean because transforming solar radiation into electrical energy creates no direct emissions. Although operating a solar-power facility generates direct emissions (e.g., from combusting fuel for maintenance vehicles) and indirect emissions (e.g., associated with the electricity used to power service buildings), these emissions are small in comparison to the output of the facility. As such, wind-powered electricity has a very low overall emissions intensity. Electricity generated by Project displaces grid electricity. Therefore, the baseline condition for the Project is the emissions that would have been emitted by generating an equivalent amount of electricity from combusting fossil fuels. GHG emission reductions and removals are calculated using the Solar Protocol. The Project includes a solar array consisting of 41,200 Longi Solar LR5-72HBD-540M (540 W) and LR5-72HBD-545M (545 W) solar modules, four Sungrow SG3600UD-MV inverters with a total generating capability of 13.5 MW, and three Sungrow battery storage containers with a total output capability of 3.6 MW/7.2 MWh. The Project also includes access roads, a perimeter fence, collector lines, and an operations and maintenance (O&M) building. The lifetime of the project is expected to be 25 years, and the lifetime of offset credit generation is 10 years.
