Ventia has signed a contract with the Department of Defence to design, deliver, commission, operate and maintain a 4 megawatt (MW) PV solar array in south-west New South Wales near Mulwala.
The Solar Farm will be designed and built over an 18-month long period. Ventia then will operate and maintain the site for an initial period of 24 months.
The Mulwala Solar Farm will provide an additional energy source to Defence, as well as helping them meet their commitments to net zero.
"Through this project, Ventia will be helping our client reduce their reliance on grid-supplied electricity, it will also contribute to their commitment to decarbonization, reducing their greenhouse gas emissions," said General Manager Energy Solutions Lena Parker.
"We have brought together a very strong team who I am confident will deliver not only a robust facility, but also provide service excellence to our client in doing so," she added.
