Arthas Has Been Approved To Build 250MW PV And 600MWh Energy Storage Projects in NSW, Australia

International renewable energy developer Atlas CanadianSolar has received approval from the government of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, to build a 250MW Gunning solar farm and a 150MW/600MWh four-hour battery storage project on the Southern Plateau.

The $430 million solar farm and battery storage project will be built on a 676-hectare site near Gunning, about 245 kilometres southwest of Sydney, and will be connected to the national Grid via a 330kV transmission line near Transgrid.

Nasdaq-listed Arthas Solar, a major supplier of solar panels and project developer, said the project will improve grid stability and energy security by generating and storing excess solar power on-site and dispatching it during periods of peak demand.
