VivoPower secures contract to work on the 200 MW Blue Grass Solar Project in Queensland

VivoPower International PLC has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, J.A. Martin Electrical Pty Limited (J.A. Martin) has been awarded a contract to complete all electrical works for the 200 MW Blue Grass Solar Farm located near the town of Chinchilla in the Australian state of Queensland.

The project will be the third Australian solar farm completed by J.A. Martin in partnership with lead EPC contractor GRS.

Once energized, the Blue Grass Solar Farm will generate approximately 420,000 MWh of clean energy per year, enough to power 80,000 homes, and avoid over 320,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The project’s construction will create about 400 local jobs.
