European Energy signs PPA with Amazon for three Australian solar parks

European Energy has signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Amazon Australia to deliver renewable electricity from three large-scale solar parks in Australia.

The partnership covers the Mokoan Solar Park in Victoria, which is already operational, as well as two projects currently in the pre-construction procurement phase: Winton North Solar Park in Victoria and Bullyard Solar Park in Queensland. Together, the three sites will provide more than 300 MW of capacity. 

The 58 MW Mokoan Solar Park, situated in the Hume region of northern Victoria, has already begun supplying electricity to the grid. It is expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 60,000 tonnes each year and generate enough renewable electricity to power over 18,000 Australian homes. Procurement is underway at the 130 MW Winton North solar park, near Glenrowan in northeast Victoria and is expected to use more than 200,000 solar panels. In Queensland, the Bullyard solar park, located near Bundaberg, will add 125 MW and is currently in the procurement phase.
