Another major solar energy facility approved for the Western Downs<\/p><\/div>\n

Western Downs Regional Council has approved development of another large solar farm in its region – this one a Shell Australia project.<\/p>\n

The proposed 250MW Delga Solar Farm is to be situated approximately 25 kilometres south-west of Wandoan on 400 hectares of land and connected to Powerlink’s Wandoan South substation. The project is expected to generate up to 800 jobs during construction and 10 ongoing operational positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve fully embraced the future of renewables and energy production in our region, and we welcome the proposal of Shell Australia onto the solar energy scene in the Western Downs,\u201d said<\/a> Mayor Paul McVeigh. \u201cThis interest from a leading multi-national energy company to invest in renewable energy in our region is a great boost to the Western Downs\u2019 already impressive energy portfolio.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mayor McVeigh says the Shell facility will bring many benefits to local communities and is another step towards a goal of making the Western Downs the Energy Capital of Australia. Council also utilises solar panels<\/a> on dozens of its own buildings and facilities; with more solar power systems to be installed during this financial year.<\/p>\n

The thumbs up for Delga Solar Farm is the eighth solar farm approval granted by Council.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, we reported approval of the Wandoan South Solar Project<\/a>, a 1-gigawatt capacity solar farm not far from Shell’s proposed site. Other solar power stations approved by Council this year are a 100MW and a 300MW facility in the Chinchilla region.<\/p>\n

Western Downs Regional Council is the amalgamation of six former Shire Councils (Town of Dalby, Chinchilla, Murilla, Tara, Wambo and Taroom Division 2). It manages an area of 38,039 square kilometres, approximately the size of Switzerland.<\/p>\n

As for Shell, it’s been ramping up its solar-related activities recently after some years in the PV wilderness.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, we mentioned the company had invested<\/a> in Singapore\u2019s Sunseap Group, with view to collaboration on solar projects in the Asia-Pacific. Solar PV has also appeared on Shell\u2019s headquarters in Thailand<\/a> in the form of Solar Frontier panels; produced by Showa Shell Sekiyu Kabushiki Kaisha, which is the base of Royal Dutch Shell group in Japan.<\/p>\n

The Delga Solar Farm project now awaits final financial approval by Shell Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
