Just as in 2024, the auction for PV and wind power systems larger than 1 MW (auction reference AZ/7/2025) attracted the most interest. 73 generators entered the auction, submitting 98 bids. The majority (95) of bids were submitted by businesses investing in PV .
The project incorporates solar photovoltaic renewable generation (700-kW), battery energy storage (2,700-kWh), energy efficiency improvements, and a centralized microgrid controller to allow key elements of the terminal to remain operational when islanded from the electrical grid.
Lithium-ion batteries, particularly Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4), are dominating this sector due to their exceptional energy density, extended lifespan, and improved safety profiles compared to Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) technology.
