An Australian council has approved a business plan for the 9 MW solar project on Fremantle city. The project is located on the former South Fremantle landfill site to be leased by the City of Fremantle to the Epuron, the project owner.
The lease is at $1 per year for 25 years, with optional 15 years extension. If the project receives return of investment, it will increase rent every 3 years.
The lease requires Epuron to pass all environmental conditions.
The idea of developing a solar farm was endorsed by the council in 2013 on the basis that the solar panel structures could be positioned above the surface of the soil and require little or no excavation or disturbance of what is a contaminated site.
