  • The Winton North project will feature two phases: a 100 MWac solar farm and a 100 MW / 2h battery energy storage system (BESS).
  • Ingeteam will contribute its technology in power and control electronics, by supplying the photovoltaic inverters, storage inverters, and the hybrid power plant control system.

Ingeteam will supply its inverters for the Winton North hybrid project that European Energy Australia (EE Australia) is constructing in the northeast of Victoria, Australia. Once operational, in 2027, this installation will have an estimated annual production capacity of 227 GWh of clean energy generated on an area of 256 hectares. Winton North will feature two phases: a 100 MWac solar farm in a first stage, and a 100 MW / two-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) in a second phase.

Ingeteam will supply its Plug-and-Play medium voltage power stations, integrating inverters, LV / MV transformer, MV switchgear, and auxiliary services panel. Moreover, the scope of supply includes the commissioning of all the equipment and the hybrid plant control system (Multi Plant Controller), designed to help the grid operator manage the performance of the two power plants and ensure the quality and stability of the power supply at the point of interconnection.

Jorge Guillen, Head of Sales for the photovoltaic and storage business at Ingeteam Australia, has declared: “We are delighted to once again be able to provide our expertise and technology in power and control electronics to further contribute to Australia's energy transition”.

Ingeteam is present in North Wollongong since 2010 and has a solar market share of around 25% in the country, where it has positioned itself as a technology partner that accompanies the plant developer, helping it to successfully meet the demanding technical prerequisites for grid connection.
