Largest Solar Power Plant To Be Built in WA
The biggest solar power plant linked to the grid will likely be constructed in West Australia's Midwest.
The WA Government is eager to pay for one-third of the cost.
It is again an additional testament to the state's commitment to have a green economy by tapping on renewable energy supply.
The Energy Minister made the announcement with regards to the venture during the Energy in WA Conference, which is a yearly event.
The solar photovoltaic energy venture amounting to $58 million will likely be constructed in Geraldton.
It will likely be in a position to create up to 10 megawatt hours of electricity yearly.
The venture will produce the largest PV facility within the nation and is vital to long term endeavours to make solar energy inexpensive to all.
This will likely be a vital test and demonstration of the technology on a bigger scale for WA.
Eventually it will pave the path for the production of even bigger long term projects.
It shows a high possibility of reducing renewable energy costs in the coming future like in the medium to the long term.
The development of the venture will start in early 2011.
The aim of the venture is to produce clean energy on a long term basis to the communities in and around the periphery of Geraldton.
It is created to add considerably to the 20 percent renewable energy target of the WA Government by 2020.
It has vital contributions as it will likely be the largest solar array that will likely be linked to the grid of Australia.
It will likely be a vital supply of clean and secure energy.
More importantly, it will likely be in a position to decrease the greenhouse gas emissions by 25,000 tonnes each year.
This is really a vital milestone in the country's efforts to be more environmentally conscious.
Furthermore, the venture will likely be in a position to generate 50 jobs during the development stage and then 3 full-time jobs during completion.
