Ingeteam has secured a supply contract for the 93MW Girgarre solar farm project in Victoria, Australia.
Ingeteam will provide its advanced power electronics technology, including 15 transformers or power stations as a turnkey solution, and a power plant controller system.
Located in Campaspe Shire, Victoria, the Girgarre solar farm, which is owned by Enel Green Power Australia (EGPA), will generate enough clean energy to power 43,000 Australian homes annually.
The building phase will take 18 months, with the plant’s lifespan projected to be 35 years.
The solar farm’s construction began in August 2023 and will see investment exceeding A$140m ($94.6m).
Beon Energy Solutions will be responsible for the construction of the project.
