As well as PPA&#8217;s such as the one with Karadoc, CUB intends installing solar panels on the rooftops at each of its breweries in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>BayWa r.e. has been involved with two other large-scale solar projects in Australia. The first was the 20MW Hughenden Solar Park in Queensland, which the company purchased, developed, sold and constructed within a period of six months.<\/p>\n<p>The other project is Yatpool Solar Park, which is located 20km from Karadoc Solar Farm. Also expected to be completed by the end of this year, Yatpool&#8217;s capacity is 106MW.<\/p>\n<p>BayWa r.e. also has four wind energy projects in its Australian portfolio &#8211; Ferguson, Timboon, Yawong and Nhill &#8211; all of which are located in Victoria.<\/p>\n<p>Headquartered in Munich, Germany, BayWa has brought more than 2 GW of renewable energy online (wind, solar, bioenergy) and manages 5 GW of renewable assets around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Karadoc solar farm may not hold the title of Victoria&#8217;s largest operational PV facility for long &#8211;
