Bungala Solar Project | Image: Reach Energy<\/p><\/div>\n

Enel Green Power has reportedly received final approvals for a major solar farm under construction near the South Australian city of Port Augusta.<\/p>\n

News.com.au reports<\/a> the Bungala Solar Project will see 860,000 solar panels installed in two phases. Up to 200 jobs will be created during construction.<\/p>\n

Enel and its partner Dutch Infrastructure Fund (DIF) closed an agreement to acquire Bungala Solar One from Bungala Solar Holding Pty Ltd., a subsidiary of Reach Solar Energy, in April this year. The purchase of Bungala Solar Two by Enel and DIF reached financial close in July.<\/p>\n

The 220MWac (2 x 110MWac) facility is expected to commence operations in 2019. Origin Energy will be purchasing all the electricity produced by Bungala Solar One and Two.<\/p>\n

Bungala Solar marks Enel’s first project in Australia, a country it says is of great interest to the company given the nation’s abundance of wind and solar energy resources and a growing demand for renewables.<\/p>\n

According to Reach Energy<\/a>, the Bungala Solar Project will ultimately grow to 300MWac capacity, producing enough electricity from nearly 1.2 million solar panels<\/a> for around 130,000 homes. Reach Energy says offtake negotiations are continuing for the balance 80MWac site.<\/p>\n

Port Augusta has been facing its share of challenges, but the future is looking brighter thanks to renewables. The region will also be the site of a 150MW solar thermal power plant<\/a>; construction of which is expected to commence next year. Port Augusta is the perfect location for solar energy projects given its average of 300 days of sunshine a year.<\/p>\n

Small-scale solar power systems<\/a> have also made their mark in the city, with more than 1,600 installed in the 5700 postcode to date; representing a collective capacity of approximately 6.8 megawatts.<\/p>\n

In other recent renewables-related news out of South Australia, Tesla recently stated it had installed half of the capacity<\/a>\u00a0associated with the world\u2019s largest lithium-ion battery<\/a> system (100MW\/129MWh), under construction near Jamestown in the state\u2019s Mid-North.<\/p>\n

Last week, Electranet announced Adelaide company Consolidated Power Projects (CPP) will construct a 30 MW large-scale battery<\/a> at Electranet’s Dalrymple substation on South Australia\u2019s Yorke Peninsula. The facility will support the 90 MW Wattle Point Wind Farm and rooftop solar PV, provide frequency response services and back-up power in the event of a blackout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
