- ACEN Australia’s Stubbo Solar Project has been in construction since late 2022 and once complete, will generate enough renewable energy to power 185,000 average Australian homes.
- Ingeteam supplied Stubbo Solar Project’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) firm, PCL Construction, with the power conversion units (PCUs) for the project, which includes more than 300 inverters, the plant control systems and commissioning services.
- Ingeteam’s share of the Australian solar market is about 25%.
Ingeteam continues to strengthen its position in the Australian market by supplying its technology for ACEN Australia’s soon to be completed, Stubbo Solar project, in Central-West NSW, Australia.
Stubbo Solar, the 4th utility-scale solar facility being constructed in Australia by PCL Construction, will generate enough renewable energy to supply 185,000 average Australian homes each year and is expected to contribute to the NSW Government’s target to halve emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050. Stubbo Solar covers an area of 1,250 hectares and will reduce annual CO2 emissions by 600,000 tonnes thanks to its 400 MW output.
For this project, Ingeteam has supplied PCL Construction more than 300 inverters -and their commissioning services-integrated in a turnkey ready-to-install MV solution. In addition, two Power Plant Controller (PPC) systems have been provided to help the grid operator predict and manage the PV plant’s operation. The design phase for the project incorporated photovoltaic panels anticipated to coexist with sheep grazing activities, as the land used to locate the solar project was previously used for that.
According to Juan Miguel Gutiérrez, Director of Ingeteam Australia, “The construction of ACEN Australia’s Stubbo Solar project is great news for Australia and Ingeteam. For Australia because it continues to make progress in the decarbonisation of its energy mix, and for us because it demonstrates our technological competitiveness, our production and logistics capacity for projects of this size, and our technical aptitude when it comes to developing simulation models for the grid studies required by the Australian operator”.
“PCL Construction’s Solar Division is incredibly proud to partner with ACEN Australia and Ingeteam on the Stubbo Solar project”, said Gopi Govindraj, Australia’s Country Manager for PCL Construction’s Solar Division. “This marks a significant step forward in Australia’s sustainable energy development and decarbonisation. We are excited to see this project come to life and contribute to the country’s net zero targets, supporting the goal for brighter, greener communities”.
