Neoen has commenced full-scale commercial operation of its owned and developed, AUD198 million (US$146.52 million), 128 MW Numurkah Solar Farm in Victoria.
The AUD198 million (US$146.5 million), 128 MWp solar farm is the largest in the state of Victoria. With 373,839 solar panels installed, it spans 515 hectares. The facility will produce 255 GWh of emission-free, clean, competitive renewable energy per annum – the equivalent of taking 77,000 cars off the road each year and enough to power 48,000 Victorian households. It will power Melbourne’s tram network and the Laverton steel works.
The Green Certificates Purchase Agreement with the Victorian Government has made the Numurkah possible. It has also benefited from a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with GFG Alliance’s SIMEC ZEN Energy.
