Eni concludes acquisition of two solar projects in the Northern Territory

Eni Australia Limited has completed the acquisition of two construction-ready solar photovoltaic (PV) projects at Batchelor and Manton Dam, in the Northern Territory of Australia, from NT Solar Investments Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Australia’s Tetris Energy.

The projects will comprise the installation of two 12.5 MWp (Mega Watt peak) of ground-mounted PV panels and will be completed by the third quarter of 2020.

The installation of innovative cloud coverage predicting technology will ensure optimum operational performance in all weather conditions. This technology will forecast possible variations in solar irradiation so as to minimize the impact to the grid. State-owned Jacana Energy will purchase 100% of the new plants’ output, which will supply clean energy to over 5,000 homes each year.
