Ingeteam has been awarded a new supply contract for Enel Green Power Australia’s 93MW Girgarre solar farm project in the state of Victoria.
The company will provide its power electronics technology under the deal. Specifically, Ingeteam has supplied 15 transformer or power stations delivered as a turnkey solution, as well as the power plant controller system.
The project is located in the Campaspe Shire in the state of Victoria and, once operational, it will generate the energy consumed by more than 43,000 Australian homes per year, thanks to its installed capacity of approximately 93MW.
Construction of the project has involved an investment of more than A$140m. Building work began in August 2023 and is estimated to last 18 months, while the plant’s operating life is expected to reach approximately 35 years.
The project, owned by Enel Green Power Australia (EGPA), was built by Beon Energy Solutions.
EGPA deploys a sustainable construction model on all its sites, working closely with contractors to encourage the adoption of solutions that amplify the beneficial effects of each renewable energy plant and proactively address any adverse effects of construction activities on the local environment and community.
Ingeteam said it continues to add projects and installed capacity on Australian soil after celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Australian subsidiary, inaugurated in November 2013.
