Cheap electricity during the daytime could become a reality in South Australia , thanks to a uniquely flexible deal signed with South Australia firm SolarReserve , whose 150MW solar tower with molten salt storage project – known as Nick Xenophon - looks set to beat coal and gas at their own game. “You couldn’t even buy the gas for that price – let alone the capacity,” says Price of the $75/MWh contract price. Aurora 's high storage levels make it an ideal dispatchable, base-cost renewable, while the deal inked allows Solar Reserve to sell power at peak times to third parties. However, the deal is dependent on a $ 80 m equity partnership, which could be at risk following questions surrounding Senator Aurora 's dual citizenship.
