Terregra Renewables has successfully completed the construction and commissioning of its 5MW Mobilong Solar Farm in South Australia.
The Mobilong Solar Farm, located north of Murray Bridge, began fully operating in early July.
Consisting of over 15,600 PV modules and two inverters, the project will be owned and operated by Terregra Renewables for its 30-year life and will run on a fully merchant offtake arrangement.
“This is a great achievement for Terregra Renewables and is our first operating project in Australia,” said Graham Pearson, Director of Terregra Renewables.
Terregra Renewables began developing a pipeline of 5MW solar projects in early 2018.
“From the start, we wanted to develop high-quality projects, be good neighbours and bring positive benefits to the local community,” said Graham.
The Mobilong Solar Farm gave a healthy boost to the local economy with nearby suppliers engaged during construction and over 50 people working on site.
“It was pleasing to see so many high-quality local businesses involved in the project. This will continue during the operation phase with local tradespeople already contracted to provide maintenance services for the next few years.”
The start of operations at Mobilong Solar Farm is an important milestone for Terregra Renewables.
“Our focus is on developing and operating 5MW solar projects across Australia.”
“We have an exciting pipeline of projects and we look forward to bringing more into operation over the coming year,” said Graham.
Terregra Renewables is owned by the listed Indonesian company PT Terregra Asia Energy Tbk. In Indonesia, the company will develop, build and operate more than 500MW of hydro projects over the next 5 years.
