250MW Solar Farm energization in Victoria, Australia

250MW Solar Farm energization in Victoria, Australia

  • On October 7, 2020

Working with one of the world’s Oil & Gas supermajors, Inaccess helped commission the first phase (250 MW) of a 450MW Solar Farm in Victoria, Australia. The electricity from the onsite collector substation will be further transmitted through overhead lines to a new 220kV terminal station, which was built, owned, and operated by TransGrid.Contributing to the Australian energy market’s transition towards a low carbon / high renewables economy, this highly innovative utility-scale Solar Farm, the largest in Victoria, is designed to ease grid strength concerns by means of including a 190 MVAr Synchronous Condenser (the largest of its kind installed in Australia). When finished it is also planned to include a 100MW/380MWh Battery Storage (BESS) subsystem.
