Australia's very first digitized PPA

• The 9.4 MW Robinvale Solar Farm is Suntech's first 100%- possessed task in the Australian pipe ahead to fulfillment and the initial solar job in the country to release WePower's blockchain-based PPA style, which opens chances for smaller sized corporate customers to go green with their procurement techniques.

While not impressive in dimension, the Robinvale Solar Ranch provides a litany of firsts for the Australian renewable resource field. The 9.4 MW project appointed recently marks the arrival of a brand-new task developer and brand-new technology, which holds the assurance of unlocking for small businesses to access renewable-energy power purchase arrangements (PPAs).

Located around 90 kilometres southwest of Mildura in Victoria, the solar ranch was established by Suntech Power Advancement Australia, a completely owned subsidiary of Suntech Power Japan Corp. The project includes 24,920 of Suntech's monocrystalline PV panels mounted on single-axis trackers. It is among the first solar farms in Australia to make use of string inverters at the utility scale, following in the footprints of FRV's Winton Solar Ranch, which included string inverters from Huawei.

The Robinvale Solar Ranch flaunts 147 string inverters as well as three transformers attached to Powercor's 22 kV network, just 700 meters far from the Robinvale substation. It is expected to generate about 18,000 MWh each year-- enough to power around 2,300 residences.

" The Robinvale Solar Farm is our very first 100%- owned job in the Australian pipe to come to understanding, and we seek to more increase our solar footprint in Australia," said Zeight Gao, CEO of Suntech Power Japan Corp

Despite numerous disturbances, due to bushfires and the Covid-19 pandemic, the Robinvale Solar Ranch finished building on schedule. The project was delivered in simply 6 months without delays, the programmer claimed, thanks to thorough and also positive planning by Suntech's group.

" Provided this experience, we are currently confident to deliver Riverina Solar Ranch which is currently under advancement," claimed Lorita Chen, the nation rep of the IPP company of Suntech Team. The 40 MW growth is just one of the multitude of massive solar ranches announced for the region.

New kind of PPA

The electrical power from the Robinvale Solar Ranch is gotten under a lasting PPA with cutting-edge electrical power store Mojo Power. What makes this 10-year, $10 million PPA different from others is its hidden innovation developed by Lithuania-based blockchain start-up WePower.
