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]
HDF Energy’s $200 million Centrale Electrique de l’Ouest Guyanais (CEOG) project is based on its proprietary power-to-power Renewstable power plant. The plant will comprise a solar PV park, a 16-MW electrolysis platform, a long-term hydrogen storage unit, two 1.5-MW fuel cell systems, as well as a short-term lithium-ion battery storage unit.
The population of French Guiana is very quickly increasing. Guiana has to face a considerable energy deficit, especially in the west where the demographic growth is booming. By providing several MW of reliable and clean energy, CEOG fits with French Guiana’s energy strategy.
It will be connected to French Guiana’s electricity grid through EDF’s substation in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. The facility will provide reliable and clean electricity to power up to 10,000 French Guiana households. It will meet half of the energy demand in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni and the Mana commune of French Guiana.
