Switzerland's new €2 billion energy storage initiative isn't just another infrastructure project - it's a moonshot combining hydropower tradition with cutting-edge tech. Let's unpack why this project could become the Rolex of renewable energy solutions.

A benchmark tariff of MUR4.50 (~$0.10)/kWh has been set for purchasing power from the proposed renewable energy hybrid facilities. The solar-storage hybrid system systems are set to help increase Mauritius’ solar generation capacity and diversify its energy mix.

Private-sector projects developed under build-own-operate (BOO) contracts will be priced at $0.023 per kilowatt-hour, while projects where the government owns the solar plants but investors provide the storage capacity will have a lower rate of $0.014 per kilowatt-hour.

The latest reverse auction has resulted in a record low tariff of Rs 3.32 per unit for a “Solar + 4-hour ESS”. This tariff was achieved in a tender by SJVN Ltd for a project that includes 1200 MW of solar power combined with 600 MW/2400 MWh of energy storage.

The combined capacity of these projects is 4.9 GWh, with installation costs ranging from USD 73 to 75 per kilowatt-hour —prices that closely rival the lowest seen in China. The contracts were awarded to Chinese manufacturer HiTHIUM and Saudi EPC contractor Alfanar Projects.

Developer Boralex and its partner Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) have closed the CA$538 (US$372.82) million financing of a 300MW/1,200MWh BESS park.

The ender will pay a fixed $10/MW of electricity supplied and energy storage capacity bids must have a maximum cost of $15,000/MW/month. Successful bids will be awarded on August 29, 2025.

The estimated contract value for this project is set at €45 million excluding VAT. The project requires the engaging parties to design, construct, and install the battery storage system.

The project, which came with a price tag of €19.6 million, was commissioned on February 1 only a few days before the desynchronization of the Baltic electricity system from the Russian grid.

It is generally necessary to count between €2,100 and €2,300 per kWp (kilowatt-peak or peak power) of photovoltaic cells (taking into account the total cost: supports, fixing, panels, inverters, etc).

The project is expected to cost about $725 million (1 trillion won) and will be awarded based on both pricing and non-price factors, such as contributions to domestic industry and battery recycling capabilities.
