Ingeteam strengthens its presence in the Australian solar sector after being awarded two contracts by the company European Energy to supply its technology to two new photovoltaic plants to be built in Australia. The projects, called Lancaster and Mulwala, will contribute to the decarbonization of the country and will further its commitment to renewable energies.
The Lancaster solar plant will be located in Victoria and will have an installed capacity of 106 MW. The Mulwala Solar plant will be located in New South Wales and will have a capacity of 31 MW. Together, these projects are expected to come on line next year, generating approximately 255 GWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power around 54,000 Australian homes.
Specifically, the company will supply 77 inverters of its 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).
Jorge Guillén, sales manager for the photovoltaic and storage sector in Australia, emphasizes that “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 4 GW supplied in the country. We are very proud to contribute to the electrification of Australia, decarbonizing its energy matrix”.
Ingeteam has had a subsidiary in North Wollongong for more than 10 years 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.
