FRV awaits permission granted for the solar and energy storage facility in South Australia

The Spain-based unit of Abdul Latif Jameel Energy, Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV), is waiting for the planning approval from the South Australian Planning Commission for its planned 100 MW solar park coupled with battery storage capacity in South Australia.

The Chaff Mill solar farm, to be built on two vacant sites of agricultural land in the Valleys Council region, will be coupled with a 50 MW energy storage facility. 

The solar plant will consist of around 360,000 crystalline solar panels mounted on single-axis trackers that are capable of delivering around 250,000 MWh of electricity annually.
