Octopus Renewables invests in 175 MW solar PV project with 400 MWh battery storage component in Queensland
Octopus Energy Australia has announced the acquisition of the 175 MW Ardandra solar and 400 MWh storage project in Queensland, Australia. With an expected completion date of 2025, it will be connected to the same line as the Dulacca wind farm, creating the largest integrated multi-technology renewable energy parks in Queensland.
Octopus Energy's acquisition of the Ardandra project will play an important role in reducing Australia's carbon footprint. The combined capacity of the Dulacca wind farm and the Ardandra project will allow for the generation of an even greater amount of clean energy.
Octopus Energy is an investor in renewable energy based in the UK, with generating assets in the solar and onshore wind as well as other technologies such as gas-fired reserve power, biomass, and landfill gas.
