Eni Australia Limited has completed the acquisition of a construction-ready solar photovoltaic project near Katherine, in the Northern Territory of Australia, from Katherine Solar Pty Ltd, a joint venture between Epuron and Island Green Power.
The project involves the installation of 33.7 MWp of ground-mounted PV panels, as well as a battery storage system with a capacity of 5.7 MVA/2.9MWh. To ensure optimum operational performance, an innovative cloud coverage predicting technology will also be installed.
Once operational, the PV farm will avoid around 63.000 tonnes/year of CO2 equivalent emissions.
Epuron will manage the PV farm upon completion. Construction is expected to start in the next few weeks, with an expected commercial operation date in the fourth quarter of 2019.
