Pacific Green Australia managing director and CEO Joel Alexander said: “This is a major milestone for the Limestone Coast Energy Park assets, and we are pleased that the South Australian government has recognised the rigorous assessment and community consultation work we have undertaken to date.

“We look forward to re-engaging with the local community to maximise the tangible economic benefits of the Limestone Coast Energy Parks and to ensure funding and local contracting opportunities are open to all relevant groups.

“This is a positive and exciting start to an exceptional pipeline of Australian projects to come.”

In November 2023, Pacific Green purchased a 51% stake via its Italian subsidiary in five BESS projects in Italy from Sphera Energy.
