Technology development and engineering growth company Synertec Corporation Limited has announced Santos Limited’s plans to further commercial orders of Synertec’s Powerhouse technology following a successful procurement process with selected global players.
Synertec has been awarded a zero emission solar energy power system procurement process by Santos as part of the GLNG JV. The two Powerhouse units will be sized and delivered under commercial terms, similar to the successful prototype commercialised in March 2023. Synertec will begin manufacturing immediately.
The units are scheduled to be deployed in Queensland to greenfield well sites near the current Powerhouse units at Myalla. By the end of FY24, the units should be on-site and contributing to Synertec’s revenue.
“Today’s award, coupled with Santos’ and the GLNG JV’s designation of Powerhouse as their technology of choice for zero emission energy power systems, provides further global industry validation as to the exceptional technical and commercial merits of Powerhouse providing reliable, sustainable and affordable continuous power as an intelligent microgrid for remote locations,” Synertec Managing Director Michael Carroll said.
According to Carroll, Powerhouse has demonstrated exceptional performance in the field over the past year, receiving positive feedback from the US Department of Energy, global banks, and industry during a tour of the US to understand its market positioning.
“The system continues to demonstrate exceptional operational performance when compared to diesel, gas and hybrid generation systems. Powerhouse’s Predictive Intelligence control system has ensured that the remote site has received reliable continuous renewable base load power at substantially lower operating cost when compared to the performance of traditional electrical power generation,” he added.
Synertec’s Powerhouse is a proven smart renewable technology that uses 100% renewable energy through Predictive Intelligence to power critical industrial applications in remote locations.
Powerhouse is a Predictive Intelligence solar and battery microgrid system that offers high availability of electrical power to remote sites. It is 100% renewable and emission-free, making it portable and flexible. The system operates at a significant discount compared to traditional generators, saving on fuel and maintenance costs. It also ensures safe operation with minimal site visits.
