Neoen has submitted the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the development of a 350 MWac (420 MWdc) Culcairn solar photovoltaic and energy storage hybrid project in Riverina Region, in New South Wales, Australia.
Neon proposed to build the Culcairn project that will feature about 1.1 million single-axis tracker PV panels and battery with 100MW/200MWh of storage capacity. The construction is set to start in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The project will deliver electricity to the grid through the near substation that would connect via overhead cables to a 330kV transmission line that already runs through the project area.
Once operational, the project is expected to generate more than 800,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually, enough to supply power for about 140,000 homes.
