Located in Victoria, Mokoan Solar Park will generate approximately 113GWh of electricity annually—enough to power more than 18,000 Australian households and abate more than 85,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
“We are thrilled to have completed our first project in Australia just two years after establishing our office in the country,” European Energy VP and head of Australia Catriona McLeod said.
“This is a tremendous achievement for our entire Australian team, and I am proud that we have demonstrated our ability to execute projects like this efficiently and effectively.”
As part of its commitment to sustainable growth, European Energy signed an agreement with First Nations Bailai Gurang Gooreng Gooreng Taribelang Bunda People Development Corporationan in 2024 to facilitate the responsible development of renewable energy projects on their land.
“We see an almost limitless interest in the expansion of renewable energy in Australia. Our development pipeline in Australia has seen a tremendous growth in the few years that we’ve been present in the country making it one of our most promising markets,” European Energy EVP and head of project development Thorvald Spanggaard said.
