Mytilineos has started the construction of the 110 MW Moura solar photovoltaic park located between the township of Moura and Banana, in Banana Shire, Queensland (Australia).
The US$120 million PV project will feature about 185,000 solar modules mounted on a single-axis tracking system spread across approximately 203 hectares. The solar farm will connect to the Moura Substation via an overhead transmission line and is expected to have a battery energy storage system at some stage. Vikcon Construction Services is responsible for the construction of the project.
Construction of the solar farm is expected to the completed around August 2022. More than half of the project's output has been allocated through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Queensland government-owned generator CS Energy.
