OX2 has agreed to divest a 119 megawatts alternating current (MWac) solar farm in Victoria, Australia to an undisclosed buyer.
It has agreed to oversee the construction process on behalf of the new owner.
The project is expected to come online by 2027.
OX2 CEO Paul Stormoen stated: “We are delighted to announce this sale in Australia, a market which offers significant growth opportunities.
“The Australian government is committed to the net zero target by 2050 and is targeting significant infrastructure investments to enable build-up of renewable capacity.
“I see considerable potential for value creation for OX2 in Australia through extension of the product offering and expansion of the development portfolio.”
