“Afry, FYFE, Primero and Worley will bring the right combination of global and local expertise to VS1, which will utilize our industry-leading technology to capture and store the sun's energy during the day before generating heat and dispatchable power during the day or night.”
The two companies also plan to build a 140 MW/280 MWh battery energy storage system at the site, that will be co-located with a planned solar methanol production facility that will use electricity and heat generated by the VS1 project to power a 10 MW electrolyzer.

Today's announcement with Afry, FYFE, Primero and Worley follows Vast's appointment in May 2023 of Worley and its specialist consulting division, Worley Consulting, to complete VS1 basic engineering. FEED is expected to be completed by August ahead of a Final Investment Decision in Q3 2024 and construction starting in late 2024.
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
