Renewables developer Edify Energy has secured federal approval on a 600MW solar PV plant in Central Queensland, Australia.
The project is expected to start construction in the first quarter of 2024 and be completed by Q3 2025.
Battery storage capacity will also be built on site, according to the Banana Shire council, and will be 200MW output and 800MWh capacity (4-hour duration).
Since Labor’s win at the federal election last year, with a pledge to make the country a renewables “superpower”, Australia is targeting 26GW of installed renewable capacity by 2030.
