Description
GoSolar’s Iowa project in Lee County consists of a planned off-grid 1,850 MW DC PV solar plant to DC buffer storage and 370 MW DC hydrogen electrolyzer capacity, producing 340,500 metric tons of green ammonia per year.
The project also has a separate grid-connected section with 207 MW DC PV solar and 207 MW BESS planned.
The project is located near the NuStar Energy ammonia pipeline.
In May 2024, GoSolar said it is seeking co-financing or a buyer for an approximately 5.5 GW pipeline of projects in the Midwest, including the project in Iowa.
The projects can scale further in phase 2, to around 10 GW of total renewable capacity.
As of May 2024, GoSolar is in discussions with thyssenkrupp Nucera and thyssenkrupp Uhde to provide electrolyzer and ammonia production technologies, respectively.
