Sydney-based renewables developer Ace Power and the local arm of Japanese energy giant Osaka Gas are seeking approval under the federal government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act for a solar and battery energy storage project planned for central New South Wales (NSW).
What is Australia's largest roof-mounted solar storage project?
Renewable energy investment fund Solar Bay and logistic company Logos have commenced construction of Australia's largest roof-mounted solar storage project, airlifting in the first of more than 120,000 solar panels that will be installed atop an 800,000 sqm industrial warehousing facility in south-western Sydney.
What is a solar photovoltaic (PV) farm?
We develop, construct and operate utility scale solar photovoltaic (PV) farms that utilise single axis tracking to maximise generation, assuring high quality investments and clean, sustainable power for the national electricity network.
Where is Australia's New solar plant located?
The plant will be located in Booroorban, in the Riverina Murray region, around 618km south of Sydney, the state capital. The project will sit across around 1,810 hectares, with the solar plant to cover an area of 430 hectares.
We plan for storage integration at all our solar farms to support grid stability whilst enhancing renewable energy flexibility. As a global renewable energy group, we work closely with our clients and partners, to consistently invest in and develop high quality renewable energy assets, specialising in the Australian market.
Will a solar-plus-storage site connect to the National Electricity Market?
According to documents submitted as part of the EPBC Act application, the solar-plus-storage site would connect to the National Electricity Market (NEM) via a connection with the Project EnergyConnect, an interconnector between the power grids of New South Wales and South Australia that is currently under construction.
What is a peninsula solar farm?
The Peninsula Solar Farm, which received approval from the New South Wales government last year, will feature an integrated 80MW/160MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The proposal also includes the construction of a 132kV substation. Around 192,000 solar PV modules will be mounted on single-axis-tracking structures.
