Tailem Bend Solar Power Project - Transfer & Transportation Guides

photovoltaic power station in Tailem Bend, Australia

The Tailem Bend Solar Power Project is a solar farm near Tailem Bend in South Australia. It has 108MW of production capacity, but it is limited to delivering 95MW large to the national grid. An additional 85MW proposed in step 2. It is developed and owned by Singapore-based Vena Energy, a new name for the former Equis Energy for the acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners in January 2018. The output will be sold to Snowy Hydro for retail sale under its Lumo Energy brand. Stage 2 is also expected to provide battery storage.The solar peasant farm covers 200 hectares (490 acres) of land with more than 390,000 solar panels. The panels are mounted at a fixed angle positions. The website is a joint development between Equis and Snowy Hydro. Snowy Hydro also had plans to establish a 28MW diesel generator at site.UGL Limited was contracted in February 2018 to build the first phase, which is expected to be connected to the grid in the first quarter of 2019. A second step to generate additional 111MW be planned .The Tailem Bend solar farm got its generation license January 30, 2019 and is expected to begin commissioning in February with full production by mid-April. Its theoretical capacity of 108MW, but the license limit it to 95MW large to ensure that it can deliver reactive power to the grid. The 95MW large Tailem Bend solar farm began production March 4, 2019 and was inaugurated May 30 2019. Vena Energy expects to continue with the completion of phase two of Tailem Bend solar farm, which will be similar scale to the first step. Vena Energy also plans to Tailem Bend Battery Energy Storage Project. The plan for a nearby diesel generator has been dropped. .... Learn more at Wikipedia
