Distributed energy resources and investment company Enernet Global and Delta Electricity has signed a power purchase agreement for the sale of 87 GWh of energy from a 62 MW solar farm at Vales Point, New South Wales.
The solar farm, located on approximately 80 hectares of the rehabilitated area at the Vales Point Power Station ash dam, will produce enough renewable energy each year to power approximately 20,000 homes.
The innovative project will pioneer in Australia a fully-ballasted system tailored to optimize delivery on land where traditional driven or screw piles are not possible, enabling efficient delivery of the utility-scale system on the rehabilitated ash dam surface. Delta Electricity will use power from the site in its retail business ensuring a significant contribution to state and federal government renewable energy targets
The project construction is set to start by the second quarter of 2020 and be commissioned by the end of the year.
