Ingeteam will supply its technology to two of European Energy’s solar projects, Lancaster and Mulwala. The contracts will see 77 inverters of Ingeteam’s INGECON SUN Power B Series model, integrated into 22 medium-voltage power transformer stations. The scope of supply includes the commissioning of the equipment and the control electronics for the photovoltaic plants (PPCs).
The Lancaster solar plant will be located in Victoria and will have an installed capacity of 106MW, while the Mulwala Solar plant will be located in New South Wales and will have a capacity of 31MW.
Together, these projects are expected to come on line next year, generating approximately 255GWh of renewable energy annually—enough to power around 54,000 Australian homes.
Ingeteam sales manager for the photovoltaic and storage sector in Australia Jorge Guillén said, “This is the first project we have carried out for this client, which has placed its trust in Ingeteam because of our technical capacity and proven solvency in the more than 4GW supplied in the country. We are very proud to contribute to the electrification of Australia, decarbonising its energy matrix.”
