Photon Energy, Canadian Solar and Polpo Investments have received approval from the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Planning and Industry and Environment (DPIE), to build a 125 MW AC (160 MW DC) Maryvale Solar Farm near Wellington.
The AUD188 million (US$129.74 million) Maryvale Solar Farm will be located in the Central-West Renewable Energy Zone.
The project will consist of up to 450,000 PV panels installed on a single-axis tracking system alongside 40 inverter stations supplied by Ingeteam, as a fully containerized solution. It will use an existing Essential Energy 132 kV transmission line and have a new substation installed.
The project will create up to 150 local jobs during the 12-month construction phase and ten operational jobs during its 25-year lifetime. The project is expected to generate enough energy to about 46,500 homes and offsetting around 265,000 tonnes of CO2 emission annually.
