Indian Energy major player Adani received the go signal for the construction of its 140-megawatt solar farms in Whyalla. The company has received the approval for the $200 million solar project and will provide 150 jobs during the farm’s construction and with 5 full-time staff once the farm is completed as reported by The Advertiser.

Adani has been attacked because of its coal investments in Galilee Basin, but this solar project shows that the company is serious about renewable energy

The company is also considering an accompanying battery storage option in Whyalla and other renewable projects in South Australia.

  1. This is exciting news and good on Adani for diversifying into solar. Its the way of the future. Has the company announced who the successful contractors will be to actually build it in South Australia?

The Victorian Government’s Plan for Solar Aggregation

The Victorian government recently made a call for partners in a new solar pilot program. Although a trial program is always a small step, when viewed in context it’s one that provides an insight into where Victoria and other Australian states and territories will need to go in future: to continue to encourage solar panel uptake, while also properly managing the byproduct of it so an oversupply of energy isn’t fed into the grid.
